Through that team I found BiggerPockets.       

Now we later caught on and simply said we can double close, they still insisted on prolonging the contract because they would be out of town, stories just weren't making sense, it's a team of two, and they lie.

I wouldn't suggest anyone follow his lead without a solid and trustworthy team in Detroit.My understanding is that holding costs are also incredibly high.

Afternoon everyone.Just wanted to introduce myself, I am Ryan from melbourne, Australia and our team are cash buyers in the Cleveland, ohio region.Additionally through our network we always have access to some great deals in the area.Would love to network and form some strong relationships and create some Win/win deals for everyone.Ill be coming over on behalf of our team to the US in May purely to form relationships and buy property.Look forward to hearing from you.Cheers Ryan

That said, without a solid property management team don't jump into anything too quick outside of your own backyard. 

Although it is possible that they are contacting sellers with specific buyers in mind already.This points to the importance of having a good realtor on your team who knows what you are looking for. 

Next you need to build a team to be your eyes and ears in the area. 

@Tajuana W.The first steps to success in a relationship intensive business like real estate investing is to educate yourself and build the team (partners) you need to monetize leads.

If you cannot trust your team, you will be left with a half finished liability.

I am building up my power team and looking for any reference for real estate attorney/ title company who can do assignments and/or double closes in Peoria IL.
