@Shawn Ward Awesome. I just pm'd you and sent a LinkedIn invite. Our paths have crossed before, albeit briefly, through UM. It would be great to keep in touch about our various endeavors, including flipping.

That's great @Geof Greeneisen ! Riverside is a good place :) I appreciate the insight about the area!

Thank you, @Keri Middaugh ! Are there particular groups that you recommend? I certainly would be interested in learning about your projects.

Hello everyone,

I'm Matt and I'm from Dexter, MI right beside Ann Arbor. I'm looking to get involved in real estate in this area or possibly around Toledo, OH. Dexter has been one of the fastest growing cities in Michigan for the past 10 years. Given the combination of growth, pricing, and overall location, it seems like a good time and good area to get involved in real estate. 

I'm new to REI. Over the years, my interest in getting involved in real estate has continued to grow. I'm attracted to the idea of figuring out how to make deals happen. Now it's time for me to start getting involved.

I haven't yet completely identified my primary strategy. I'm inclined toward buy and hold rentals, particularly multi-family properties. My wife, who has design skills, likes the idea of flips more :)

In any case, I'm looking forward to connecting with people. learning, and making progress. I love connecting with people.

@Christopher Phillips So is the biggest issue that they are incomplete (e.g., missing listings) and slow to update when something comes off the market? Or are there other issues to be aware of? Thanks!
