Post: Fall 2014 Has Been Good! My last 30 days.....

Ok, so I bought 3 Properties in the Last 30 Days and financed another one for a fellow investor with a private mortgage.   Its been a fun month!  

1st house was a good deal, working on rehabbing it now and will list it for sale soon.  

2nd buy is a 3 Bed 2 Bath in Garden City that will be my 10th Rental.

3rd purchase is a commercial property directly next to my business on Ford Road.  It will most likely be redeveloped in the future to expand our store.  (I am a Pawnbroker by Day) 

Still seeking another rental property and more Opportunities to lend cash as a Private Lender in South East Michigan. 

Anyone else have any good success stories from the Fall of 2014?

Community Choice Credit Union has been good for me for 30 Year Conforming mortgages.  I also just did a Commercial loan with Lake Trust Credit Union.   Good People.   Give them both a call.

I agree with brandon on the podcast.  It's excellent.   I am also looking for Ferndale properties north of 9 mile.    Keep me in mind if you come across something.

  1. I am currently in the middle of one now.  The Tenant has agreed to move out by the 30th & We already have a court date for the 20th.   As long as rent is paid till she leaves, water bill & Court costs are paid I will be perfectly happy to let her out of the lease.  She has been paying late for the last 5 months!   Now all I have to do is find a new tenant 60 days before Christmas......   That should be fun.  We shall see.

I like to take a look at the electrical system,  Is it Fuses or Breakers &  Plumbing system,  Is it Steel, Copper or Pex?    I have upgraded many homes to Breakers and copper/Pex plumbing.  Sometimes these 2 can get over looked.
