I've been helping my clients and investor friends excel in rural distressed property projects.

While some people are forced to invest OOS, and sometimes it makes sense, I think for most investors, staying close to home solves lots of problems and Warren Buffet says invest in what you KNOW. 

For some investors, doing a flat % isn't logical because a roof for a 1000 Sq ft SFR in a D class neighborhood will cost just about the same as a roof for the exact same house in an A class neighborhood, but the A class rent will be 2-3 times more than the D class rent.

From one real estate investor to another.

I am seeking perspective from the savvy note investors as well as established buy and hold (rental property) investors regarding the "best" strategy to grow net worth over time. 

So far I have been developing units for us to manage and taking on clients through our real estate sales to investor clients.For those in the biz. 

I’m an investor agent located in the Hampton Roads area, Chesapeake to be exact.

My thoughts are to have an investor that buys into the current equity ($200k / 2 = $100k buy-in) Home value is +/- $645k (++ golf cart and fully furnished) splitting the mortgage/utilities/upkeep expenses going forward (+/-$4700 / 2 = $2350 monthly) and split the use time of the home and all future profits 50/50.  

Any investors in Michigan and specifically the Washtenaw, Livingston, and Monroe counties?

Real Estate has always been a strong interest for each of us, but other than purchasing our primary residences, no experience as investors.
