Connect with local investors in greater Detroit

I'm new to the BP forums, and looking to connect with either local or OOS investors in the greater Detroit area. I've been looking at properties for the last few weeks, and am interested in discussing someone's experience with investing in the market. Points of interest for me would be hear about successes and areas for improvement. In return, I'm happy to discuss other markets I have been monitoring, and seeing if there is any other way I can provide value.

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area. You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

@Drew Sygit is a property manager there and may have some advice.

Ashley Hamilton is killing it! Here's a recent update interview she did with BiggerPockets.

@Blake Hooks you may want to check out & attend www.REIAofOakland.com meetings. There are also several local MeetUps.

You might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider:

https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
(BP search feature can be problematic, so we’ve also added links @ our website under View Cities & Neighborhoods We Service)

Please send us any feedback or contact us for more info via email, as we do not use the DM feature here.
