Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing your experience here. I, as well, have met multiple people here on BP and created opportunities here on BP. Add me to your mailing list, most of my clients are investors...

Have a great week and kudos to you for taking action and growing your business!

Welcome Jessica. I earned my salesperson license to help my investing. It is nice to have access to the MLS plus you can help friends, family and acquaintances with their real estate goals. There are many part-time realtors so you can definitely keep your full time job too. Talk to the brokers in your area, share your goals and pick the one that would be the best fit.

Good luck on your journey!

If you are using a Realtor, then, you should be ok to make offers before inspecting the home. Make sure there is an inspection AND financing contingency in the offer. You may want an attorney approval contingency as well, if you are acquiring a property with tenants in place. Tenant's rights and contracts typically transfer with to the buyer. Consult with your Realtor and Attorney and offer away!

Good Luck, keep us posted.

Steve,

Madison Heights and the surrounding area can be competitive. Do you have a leasing agent or PM?

Good photos will definitely help as well, especially for lease properties. More eyes on the property = More applicants.

Hi Matthew,

I saw this deal come through my email last week... Let me know if you have any other Pontiac properties come up.

Good Luck!

Great posts! my 91 Lexus ls400 does the job dependably fast driving 30k miles per year. Best $2500 I ever spent :) Honda Ridgeline coming soon.....

check out mobilehomeparkstore.com Great resource for seeing some on market deals and finding the brokers in the areas you are looking for. Be careful on the age of the parks and be sure to do your due diligence, especially the park's plumbing....

Good Luck! Keep us posted.

HI Gerrit,

Welcome to BP! You will find a ton of useful and invaluable info here on BP. I highly recommend the podcasts, not only for the knowledge but also for the motivation. The Ann Arbor and surrounding areas are great markets. Check out the Ann Arbor REI meetings with @Joe Villeneuve

Good Luck with your future endeavors and keep us posted!

Hi Caleb,

Definitely check out the podcasts here on BP. You can't put a price on the info at your disposal here. With that said, start hunting for deals. If you find a really great deal the money can be found. Start attending local REIA meetings and tell people what you want to do. A deal just might find you! Use the calculators on BP here to analyze the properties you find, they usually work well. I use the calcs here all the time for my clients.

Chances are you will find something at or nearer to market value. In that case plan to have 5-10% of the purchase price for down payment and closing costs, using FHA. It would definitely help to keep the credit cards balances as low as possible and many lenders don't want to see your debt to income ratios more than 30% and no large cash deposits or withdrawals, the bank will pick apart your statements like crazy! Have your 2 years of tax returns and a few months of pay stubs in a file ready to send to the bank when they ask. There is a lot more info to show you are a willing and ABLE buyer, so look around here and use the search tool find specific info.

Good Luck! Keep us posted on any deals you come across...
