Nice can't wait!!

Welcome to BP! You have come to the right place! Wish you luck!

The age old question. There are a lot of great responses on here. I think some people mentioned it a few times but it totally depends on the goals you have set forth. Set what your goals are first, then you can dive in to this topic second! Good luck!

Welcome @Kyle Marburger! I think @Shawn Holsapple post really hit the nail on the head, get buried in books. You can get an internship out of the all the books he just posted! Just keep growing and learning. Its a grind but be passionate about it and know there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Welcom @Amanda Rivera! Well you are in the right place for learning! Keep it up!

That story got me fired up! What an awesome work of art @Tim Soto!

Keep it up!

Dang, thats a great update and I LOVE "what you learned at the end!" Very prudent advice and I think you are right on the money. Advice for all of us to live by! Congrats and keep plugging away!

Welcome @Patrick Sullivan! Good to see another MI investor. Definitely invest a TON of time and knowledge in to the forums, podcasts, and learning. This will be your most useful tool in the beginning. I started out the same way (kind of). Bought a duplex to live in one side and rent out the other. Performing some variation of a live-in-flip is certainly the way to go when you start out. Most people don't have that option. Take advantage.

There are many great individuals in the area on this site and many local meet ups as well. @Tom A. has a meet up he puts on with a great group of people. I would suggest starting there! Good luck and hope to see you around!

Very interesting. I will have to find the article I saw it in. It was in one the handful of REALTOR magazines I receive each month.

Hopefully doesn't go away but like you said Al, government LOVES getting their hands on those "pesky rich people loopholes." Haha

Thanks guys!

I heard some rumblings out of NAR (National Association of Realtors) that the industry was looking to do away with 1031 exchanges. I didn't know if that was in Michigan or nationally but has anyone else heard of that or have any thoughts? I feel like that would be terrible for us investors....
