I gave them the option to stay at an increased rent amount starting September 1- just shy of 90 days.

We started out by raiding my 401k, including the penalty, because we didn't have a lot of money available to us.

I live in Grand Marais, Michigan, where my family owns and operates Superior Hardware, our family business.My passion for real estate started when I was 7 and asked my mom if she could download the Trulia app for me on my iPod touch (remember those?!).

Think of all the things that can go wrong and you want a way to remediate it in the JV agreement. we did this once and the partner never started the work after a year so we deemed the note in default and were going to take back the property but they ended up selling another property to pay us off.

When you are considering properties in the area, how do you assess in advance if there is going to be a major issue with the remediation if you are moving quickly to jump on a deal? 

I'm from Stillwater Oklahoma and multiple people I grew up with have started reaching out to me on how I can help them or someone they know with different properties and lots.

Hello everyone, I finally decided to start my RE investment.

Here are some of my individual goals:- Purchase class B multifamily assets with 25-50 units, and value add opportunity, in key cities in Ohio and Michigan - Create joint ventures to take down initial properties- Start a syndication to purchase additional properties- Create a brand with a thorough online presence Please connect with me if these goals interest you and align with your goals.

Excited to start once my preparation meets the right deal.

Can anyone convince me why should I start looking & investing in that area?
