@Justin Windham thanks for the advice. There’s definitely a wealth of knowledge here that I’ll definitely tap into!

@Connor Anderson thanks for the comment. Yeah, working on projects here and there in my own home has been a great lesson in what I’m good at and what I have a lot of room to grow! It will be great to connect with you. I have a realtor friend out in Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo area! Shawn Gholston

@Dmitriy Fomichenko thanks for the comment and great advice. I’ll check those out!

@Bradley LaBrie Thanks for comment, Brad. That would be great. I'm currently seeking out financing options that might fit my situation currently. I've got quite a bit of free time as most of us probably do! A call would be great!

@Hai Loc Thanks for the comment. Flint is seeing a lot of buy and holds. Lots of foreclosed properties and land bank-owned. Not sure about your road comment, this is MI about 80% of the roads here are bumpy everywhere.

Hello BP-peeps! My name is Chris Collins. I'm currently working full-time with a local area non-profit in the educational setting. The only actual real estate experience I have is buying my own home a couple of years ago. I have spent the last 6 months or so learning most of the basics of real estate investing and identifying my niche (which is still developing), but I'm interested in making the right situation work for me and whomever I deal with. So I have not done my first deal/project yet but I'm very eager to start. I have began reaching out to FSBOs and looking at REO because I'm not afraid of doing the dirty work (that I can actually do). Anyway, joined BP after listening to a couple of podcasts through the Michigan Real Estate Investors Facebook group.
