Beyond that, though, that's kinda like looking to wholesale from MLS (in fact they are in the MLS), you've got to get a smoking hot deal to add a fee and provide any value to the end buyer.

I hope to learn a lot from everyone and look to the forum for answers to my questions.I currently own a travel business and also work in the financial industry, so real estate investing is a new venture for me.

We shared a common vision and strategy for what we want our real estate businesses to look like down the road.The point of this post is to do a little research on BP to see who's in the town that you're traveling to.  

We want to travel with no worries. 

However, I have some personal goals around income, travel and freedom that real estate investment can help me achieve.I'm here to learn - bonus if you're from the Lansing area and want to network or meetup in person!

I can see I really need to do blogs instead of forum posts that get lost in the smoke. 

Things like when you would like to move, how many folks, do you smoke, have pets, is the property far from their work or income source.  

The repairs were to include Roof Repairs, Exterior Trim, All Windows, Cellar Glass Block Windows, A pre-hung steel rear entry door, smoke detectors, some ventilation work such as the hot water heater vent, some electrical work such as defective wall outlets, Drain Tile ...

I travel all over the country for work and there is nothing quite like Seattle.  

Besides the information provided already, I recommend you to pick up the phone when you are not traveling and talk to a few people.
