I also hope to continue to grow my network and meet other like minded individuals and mentors to help advance my investing business.Cheers!

@Mickey Petersen Like what @Alex Olson said, a 1031 exchange is a great way to diversify and further grow your RE portfolio.

The population is officially growing again, and there’s been a lot of investment in infrastructure and development in recent years, which makes it unique compared to some other Midwest markets.One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Detroit is very much a block-by-block city.

You get a deduction for the contribution, the gains grow tax-free and as long as you use the proceeds for health-related expenses the funds come out tax free as well. 

From the architectural wonders of Downtown to the tranquil, family-friendly communities on the outskirts, there’s always something new to explore and learn.The city’s constant evolution means different investment opportunities are always surfacing, whether it's the push for sustainable living or a growing emphasis on smart home technology.

At R&H Capital, we’re always looking to connect with other investors, share insights, and collaborate on new opportunities.I’m excited to be here in the BiggerPockets community, where I hope to learn from fellow investors, share my experiences, and build meaningful relationships to grow our real estate ventures.

I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. 

Glad to see you still growing!

As both a real estate professional and property owner, I bring a unique perspective to the investment landscape in our growing metroplex.My Investment Focus:- Rental property acquisition and optimization- Value-add opportunities in emerging DFW submarkets- Long-term wealth building through real estate- Professional property management and tenant retentionWhat Sets Me Apart:- Dual expertise as realtor and investor provides enhanced market insights- Faith-based approach to business relationships- Strong commitment to property management excellence- Focus on win-win scenarios for investors and tenantsCurrent Objectives:1.

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.
