Sounds like I need to hang out with Minh :) And yes, we are actively working with realtors in Sacramento, San Antonio and Grand Rapids and look at listings daily.

I guess if you accept them you will find out what that means in practice.My concerns would be non payment of rent related to break up of the group, and rapid turnover leading to a search for a new tenant.

I have been looking in Grand Rapids for a while, but considering I'm purely investing for buy-and-hold cash flow right now Muskegon appears to be a better option considering it is a less heated market and I can likely get properties cash flowing at the same rate for 60-70% of the price of Grand Rapids properties.

Now through post on Bigger Pockets I heard of it through 3 different members.You can search Bigger Pockets Members list and look for members who have information associated with their names pertaining to what you are seeking.Brandon Turner mentions we are considered to be the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with; so connect with real estate investors to rapidly increase your real estate knowledge.At the bottom of this page is a list with help in it.

The property is located in an area that is appreciating and growing rapidly.

Your better bet would be Grand Rapids area.

I'm actually somewhat disappointed that prices have not dropped at all where I am, they've actually continued to increase and things are rapidly heating back up now that businesses are reopening. 

Good to take advantage of the high rents and rapid appreciation when we can in these areas, but it's a scary game!

I've been traveling to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for my day job so I may start there. 

Joining such high-caliber networks can be a game-changer, offering investors a 'fast pass' to advance rapidly in their journey.
