Pasadena has basically two sides, but are both attractive because of the schools.

Met with one contractor the is actually being a high school friend, but we haven't seen each other for years.

My new niche is 2B/2B garden style condo within a good school district, low crime, great community amenities and finally, cash flowing properties.

I had the honor to work for ESPN, Fox Sports Detroit and Tivity Social and developed many influential relationships including athletes and TV personalities along the way.

It's not the greatest area, but they are starting to do some developing, and opened a big medical school there a few years ago.  

The GR public schools are not great though.

I sold my way through college and grad school here in the Twin Cities and have been selling full-time since 2010.  

(Millage rates vary by city and school district in Michigan.)

I am fortunate enough to not have any school debt or any other debt for that matter, and have been seeking opportunities to invest my money rather than having it rust in my savings account.After talking with one of my co-workers, who happens to be a real estate agent, I've realized that I definitely want to start investing in rental properties.

I do automotive finance for my W-2 job with a wife still in school.
