The cars never look as sexy in person.

In my teen years, I fronted a thousand expecting something for nothing.

You can also go into some of the less sexy areas(North End, or Mexican Village) buy it and hope the neighborhood starts to turn in 5 years, and in the meantime some of the newcomers to the city get tired of premium rent, leave Midtown stay in Detroit, and land in those areas(two of my tenants have in the last six months).

I am now running out of idea how to make the community safer as summer is on the way, with more teens in the area running around everyday, I am afraid the situation might get worse.

My recommendation is to substitute this place instead of FB/IG, and just educate yourself.In the meantime, since you are going to school, stay focused on your grades, and pick a career that you are passionate about, but one that'll generate some capital.As you mature, not only as an aspiring investor, but more so as a a teen going into adulthood, things will develop. 

You do the footwork, they can get a high teen return, and then you get a piece of the pie. 

Open your mind :)Thanks B,These investment terminologies are still to far advanced for my high school drop out perceptions :)We still have a lot of Weet-Bix to eat before we reach that level lolThanksHaha - Engelo, I'd think it'd be good fiduciary diligence on your part to understand the advanced terminologies, so that you can explain them to investors :)Thanks B,I'll leave that to the experts lolWe are still small fishies just doing our best to get ahead :)I still love you tho xoxoAnd you are a sexy guy mate.The unbuttoned shirt is a great look for you.Did someone say Ben Banderas hahaCiao

Since the subfloor is plain concrete, he laid the planking right on top of the old carpet (in hopes of providing a bit more insulation come winter).4) Coventry Oak in my home bathroom (only 50 sq ft) sometime about 2 months ago - did this myself, and even did it in installments, leaving pieces out for 2-3 days until I had a window of time to replace the toilet (when you have one bathroom and two teens, you gotta be careful!).

As @Brandon Turner  has said, REI is "sexy" and people are interested so I put together this presentation:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/176471-seeking-flip-funding-in-orlando-50-ltv-and-138-roiIn addition to the BP community, I shared it with family, friends and local investors that had expressed interest in what I was doing.

My interests in real estate began in my teen years (I am in my late 20’s now) and I have decided to finally take action!
