Getting Started In SE Michigan
Hi, I'm a licensed Realtor/Builder in SE Michigan. I have been in Real Estate sales for going on 5 years now. The money is great, however, the work doesn't fulfill me at the end of the day. I'd like to get into Real Estate investing and do residential redevelopment. I have a few years of experience in manual labor. I've done complete remodeling of kitchen/baths along with rough carpentry/roofing. I have the tools, experience, education, and finances to move forward I just don't know how everyone is finding these off-market properties that turn a 10% profit at least. It seems as if every deal I've analyzed from a number standpoint is a total loss or will result in breaking even. What are some methods you successful investors are using to acquire and execute these transactions and turn a profit?

Ashley started out as a waitress making $20,000 a year and she's now up to 60+ rentals making $200,000 a year. I think there's room to succeed in Detroit. Here's her podcast:
