I've got lots of family in your area; there are quite a few investors here on the site that are local to you.Jump in and get involved; you'll find that BP is a great resource for your real estate investing career.

I'm interested in all aspects of investing flipping, bird-dogging, wholesaling, rehabbing,and subject-To's, but I don't know quite enough about any of them.

Wow you guys are quite the team!

Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

In the State of Michigan, I am required to pay cash at the auction and am issuesd a Quit Claim Deed within 30 days.

Seems CB Richard Ellis and, as others have said, Marcus and Millichap have quite a few of these properties for sale since I've been here.

You'll still be listed on the chain of title as you'll take possession in your name and then quit claim the property to your LLC.

Chuck,Your rent v purchase price ratio is quite good!

The problem is that you should be quite long-term as I don't see retail buyers getting loans anytime soon in these heavily investor developments.

I don't quite feel comfortable with doing a wholesale yet, so I asked how much he would pay me to bird dog and he said $500, which I expected.
