Hi this is my first post and I have been reading all the useful information on this site. 

Here is one of my posts on how it all started .Hey all, I see so many posts, " I am researching, " I am doing my homework" , I am trying to build my team" "Deciding on which area" So many are TRYING but never do anything, like a hamster on a wheel, A LOT of movement but staying in the same place.

Main point of my post is also trying to determine if individual notes are worth it for people in my boat, who are busy and happy with other aspects of their lives... jobs, families, etc.

@Melissa Bass I am glad I'm able to help.Keep us posted.

I'm proud of you, and keep us posted on your journey! 

This information will be reported to the mortgage holder.

Hi, I have read posts in a number of forums about section 8 investing in Detroit.

That's why I wanted to share an insightful blog post I came across that highlights the Top 7 Landlord-Friendly States.

Toledo pretty much offers the same, if you're set on that city connect with @Engelo Rumora Thanks for the plug mate,Hi Ken,We probably won't be able to assist as we offer turnkey and only to cash buyers.Our lowest entry point is $65,000 and that buys a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that will rent for around $800pm.Plus, I'm pissed of with investors and lately and keeping all deals for myself heheI think you are on the right track with the 43607, 43612 and 43613 zip code.I encourage you to take a look at 43609 and select areas of 43610 and 43620.BRRR out of state is a recipe for disaster but since you are in Michigan, it isn't too bad I guess.Even being as close as you are and even if you lived in Toledo, I would always advise to get professional property management.An investors role is just that, to be an "investor".Elevate and delegate...Sure, you can probably manage 1,2 or 10 properties but that can eventually turn into a full time job.IMO, you should focus on scaling as in finding deals, raising capital, buying more properties, growing your portfolio, etc...And not dealing with tenants and toilets.Wishing you much success  I'm not sure if I made a mistake in my post about the 50k part, but if the math is right I should be right above your lowest entry point. 

My recent post in this thread references lawyers you can call.I’m not naysaying, but a 3 to 5-year loan is unusually long for hard money and a bit risky.
