Hello and welcome!   I'm an investor in Ypsilanti (SE side of the state).  I hear Kalamazoo is a great market.  I hope you find success there!

Best wishes,

Keri (parent of 2 daughters, so I know where you are coming from!)

Hi Donald,  Welcome!  There is a great real estate investor club in Ann Arbor (www.a2reic.com).  Perhaps we'll meet there sometime.  I invest mainly in Ypsi, but am looking to expand.  What areas are you interested in?

hello and welcome! The podcasts and webinars on BP are great, but I really recommend connecting with a local real estate investment club.

Best wishes,

Keri from Ypsilanti

There are a handful of private lenders that attend the Ann Arbor Real Estate Investment club (www.A2reic.com), and a couple of traditional bankers as well.

Welcome!  The podcasts and webinars on BP are great, but I really recommend connecting with a local real estate investment club to get really excited about your local market.

Best wishes,

I also recommend the Ann Arbor Real Estate Investment Club that is organized via Meet Up.

You might consider thinking outside of the MLS box. Many of the properties on the MLS go very quickly and for above the asking price, making it hard to make a profit for flippers or even holders. I've been trying to develop relationships with active wholesalers in the area who are finding distressed situations and finding buyers outside of the traditional routes. I've met some wholesalers through BP and through the local real estate investment club. Good luck!

I have a good CPA that I work with in the Ann Arbor area.  He is well-versed in real estate and is an investor himself.  PM me for contact info.

Welcome, Taylor!  I'm an investor not too far from you, in Ypsi.  We've got 2 single family rentals and are currently in the middle of our first flip, also in Ypsi.  I encourage you to take advantage of all that Bigger Pockets has to offer (podcasts, webinars, networking, forums).  You might also consider the local Real Estate Investment Club (A2REIC.com).  Perhaps we will meet there one Tuesday :)

Best wishes,

Keri
