Michigan BRRRR Investor – Preparing for License & Looking to Connect
Hi BiggerPockets community,
My name is Clarence Benson, and I’m currently preparing for my Michigan real estate license. I’m new to real estate investing, but I’m committed to learning and building a career around the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat).
What I’m Focused On
- Entry-level single-family and duplex properties in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing.
- Building relationships with mentors, lenders, and partners before my first deal.
- Developing a long-term portfolio that generates steady cash flow and appreciation.
Who I’m Looking to Connect With
- 👨🏫 Mentors who can share insights and advice.
- 💰 Private lenders/investors open to secured lending or joint ventures.
- 🤝 Contractors, brokers, and property managers to build a trusted team.
What I Bring
- Transparency – honest about being new, but committed to the journey.
- Hunger to learn and hustle to make things happen.
- Dedication to building win-win partnerships.
If you’re in Michigan or experienced with BRRRR, I’d love to connect and learn from you. Drop a comment, send me a message, or share your own BRRRR experiences.
Thanks for welcoming me into the community!
