Be prepared some people get seriously pissed when they find out you're making a decent spread on the deal...

In this day and age, it is tough to hide with all of the social media.

.$89k gross spread with only $270k invested will net great return.

I've noticed over the past couple months that the mainstream media is starting to once-again acknowledge real estate investors -- especially landlords and rehabbers.

The media constantly bashes my city and yet through all the negative statistics that attack Detroit Metropolitan, Michigan I see a vision for my city.My young age (21 years young) teamed with my business mindset and mentality (Been doing business since I was 13 years young) believes that my city is a diamond in the rough.

Find the neighborhood with the cheapest cost and the most activity.Social media is extremely helpful in locating these areas.

After that you can worry about the relative value of organic ranking vs PPC vs media buys and placements.

I don't see enough spread to make this a rental.

i think this is state specific..for instance, the NC instructor of the class told us that if the intruder doesn't have a gun, then it's not self defense...sad thing is you may or may not have time to check and see if he has a gun.....then again, it depends how the media portrays it as well...what if it is self defense, but it was a 13 year old breaking in??

I really appreciate what you had to say.Just do your part by taking from the site and using it to find your success, by sharing what you learn out in the field, by engaging and participating, and lastly, by spreading the word about BiggerPockets!
