BTW, reading the books as we speak!

Thanks, Paul. Will do.  I'm attending the webinar on Thursday, hope its the first of many.

From a family where Dad was a builder and I was his apprentice, the family owned small apartment buildings which I would help manage/repair. I'm a newbie, but have done extremely well with my personal real estate investments, interested in opportunities for small multi-families in Southeastern Michigan and Gulf Coast central Florida.

Starting low and slow, learning from all of the pros here on Bigger Pockets. Ready to put my feet in the water, strap on my tool belt and let's go!

The purpose for my real estate investments is to augment a pension and retirement plan/portfolio, which is robust, but how much is too much, right? Also to keep us busy once we finally decide to retire.

Very excited to be part of this community!

Excellent responses, everyone.  I was born and raised in Detroit, but now live in New York. I'm watching and waiting, still.  The neighborhoods mentioned above are very good, but I'm noticing the trend in Royal Oak, in particular, is the costs are too high on the smaller 3-4 unit buildings to make the math work.  Same with Berkley and parts of Ferndale that don't immediately abut 8 Mile Road (a sort of dividing line). I've been watching a long time and will continue to do so. Look forward to seeing more posts from the pros regarding Detroit.

I have not proceeded beyond the research phase as yet. I am watching the forums for more experienced REIs than myself and have this is a keyword search to help me learn. The property prices are enticing, though, aren't they?
