I'll prob work 50-60 hours/week at the JOB with a very stable firm and I expect I have some super solid upside options there.My parents had 2-3 rentals when I was growing up, I worked for a property manager before while in undergrad, ran a successful painting contracting business, am solid at negotiating and selling, have spent my share of time in rough neighborhoods, but I'm concerned I may be too much of a nice guy to ever get too good at evicting poor people.

I personally went to detroit to look at properties, youd be amazed how nice some of the forclosures are, but almost EVERY house youd buy needs paint, carpet. paint and carpet on a 1000sq house cost several thousand, plus maybe someone from detroit can shed some light here, the city is VERY involved in rentals in the city of detroit, which is why my locals invest in the suburbs and close cities from what i understand, where there are not $100 houses, not even $1000 houses, maybe $10k houses.

We ended up with 4 offers at the end of the week and we were able to choose the offer that was best for us.

All new Heating, air conditioning, water heater, kitchen, floor, painting, bathrooms, plumbing, and I even added solar panels.

INCREDIBLE two-story great room w/marble fireplace; NEW designer paint in & out; NEW fixtures & ceiling fans; AWESOME master suite w/sitting area, HUGE walk-in closet, jetted tub & double vanities.

This can be done with drywall, paint, flooring, tile, stone, roofing, cabinets, etc.

If you choose a broad label like investors, you'll find more people and as you narrow down to more specific, you'll obviously find less.
