@Travis B. Thanks for the info! I have decided to stay within a couple hours of Richmond so I can be present at the property if need be. If I revisit the idea of investing in Detroit I will absolutely take you up on that!

@Josh Uhlenkamp

I appreciate the response! However I actually just changed a few criteria and am now looking closer to you all, specifically Suffolk, VA. What are your thoughts on that area?

@Stephen Glover Hey Stephen! Are these meetups going on again? I was able to get my foot in the door and would love to expand my network! Please let me know, thanks!

@Nicholas L. Thank you Nicholas! I’ve been working the off market angle it has been tough though. Do you have any strategies you like in particular to target and build an off market network?

@Scott Mac I really appreciate the insight and the resources! I’ll definitely review these later this afternoon, thank you!

Hey folks! I am a newer investor (2 hands on renovations, 1 rental) based out of Richmond, VA. I have been looking to build my portfolio in Richmond but it has gotten too hot lately. I was looking at Detroit (green acres/ Sherwood Forest/ Redford). I think we have enough experience to look at a project/ inspection and know if it's something we can take on or not but I want to get a feel for what locals think of the direction Detroit is headed. Can anyone offer some insights?

@Stephen Glover Thank you! Excited to get started!

@Stephen Glover thanks for the insight! I was showing positive cash flow including reserves so I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything before I keep pushing to close on this property.

I have a house under contract to be a rental but my 2% rule calculation barely breaks 1%. Is the 2% rule feasible in RVA or should I find a different home to invest in?

Does anyone have a solid grasp on the Hopewell area? I am trying to find out if the area is worth investing in!
