Newbie Investor from SE/Metro Detroit, MI

Hello all!

My name is Shawn Daniel from Southfield, MI. I have been interested in REI for a few years now and have finally decided to take the plunge. I am currently in the information gathering stage, trying to decide which area of investing I should pursue first. I'm thinking wholesaling (like most newbies) and lease options, but there's a TON of information to take in.

Ultimately, I would like to own residential and commercial properties to build a solid rental portfolio, as well as fix and flip properties once or twice a month. I'm extremely interested in getting my hands dirty and would love to be on the site assisting with the rehabs!

At this point, I am looking to network with like-minded individuals, team members or gain a mentor to help out with the start-up process. If there are any meet-ups in the Metro Detroit area or anyone looking to network, I would love to hear from you!
