I'm about to start working at a new job full time and it involves a good amount of travel.

I'm new myself to BP and being this involved in Real Estate.

My point is, yes, in theory the cost could be similar to a single family home, common areas maintained, but if you are not involved in how the community is run, you can learn the hard way that other people on the board may be looking out for their own interests, want to save money at the cost of how the community is maintained, or could simply not have keen business sense in order to run the community like a business.

Agents have to work their butts off, for a lousy 3% commission, and they have to pay for almost everything involving them being an agent out of their own pocket. 

The parties involved have extremely limited financial resources and are looking to do it themselves.Thanks in advance,Grace

If you want to get involved locally, there is a Northern MI Real Estate Investment Association meeting in Traverse City on Oct 3rd.  

I wanted to get involved with buying and renting out houses.

I would look to areas much more afordable for your first couple of investments after your own home to minimize your risk while getting your feet wet.

thanks Ricardo. i started looking into list source and found it a bit complex once i seen all the demographics involved (just like anything else when starting), any advice you can share would be appreciated . thanks in advance
