I see you mentioned a single family home is what you’re looking for.

He also mentioned that I wouldn’t qualify for anything higher right now. 

Also, since you mentioned Michigan, i'm wondering if you're looking for people just from Michigan.I've been investing for the last 15 years and I've done hundreds of deals and I've owned hundreds of properties.

He also mentioned that I wouldn’t qualify for anything higher right now. 

I live in Columbus now and own rentals here, and those areas you mentioned like Grandview, 5th by Northwest, German Village, and Short North are all great long-term plays with strong appreciation potential, but just keep in mind cash-on-cash in those core neighborhoods can get tight since they're in high demand.

Did I mention they START the relationship off with a lie.

If you haven't seen results, it might mean to try a different strategy, focus on one aspect or give up and move on.You mentioned several different topics from investing, wholesaling along with different areas such as Texas, Florida and New York.
