What's up guys,
My name is Gregory Dickerson Jr. I'm a new investor in the Metro Detroit area. I currently make my living as a graphic designer and I'm looking to real estate as a method to better myself financially—but most importantly I want to create more time to spend with family and friends.
I want to start out with wholesaling to build some cash, just not sure what area I want to focus on i.e. HUD, tax deeds, vacant homes etc. My first goal is to build my business to the point where I can wholesale 1 property per month.
I'd also love to meet and network with other investors from all over the country, but especially in the Michigan area. Networking is one important skill that I need to improve and joining this site is a start for me. There's a lot to learn and and it seems like this is a great place to gain an education.

Welcome Greg! I am from Livonia and recently joined the site as well. There is a lot of information here and it is refreshing how open and honest everyone is. Don't be afraid to ask questions, you'll get a lot of answers from people who really know their stuff. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome. It seems like this is an environment where people love to share what they've learned. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
I haven't been around much lately. But I am involved in a very active network. I co-host a local meetup with @Tom A. . He is the wholesaler in our network who seems to do very well at it and has for years now.
With that said. Again, Welcome to BP and I hope to meet you at this months event.

@Aaron Yates Thank you. I appreciate your input. Rest assured I entertain no thoughts that this will be easy. I'm not looking for a "get rich quick" scheme. I've owned a business before and understand that if this was easy, then everyone would be doing it.
I'll keep my eye open for the confirmation about the meetup! Thanks for sharing that info. I look forward to meeting you.
