Pricing is lower although we are increasing rapidly due to lack of inventory and the influx of out-of-state buyers. 

Anyone have any investor friendly portfolio lenders in the Grand Rapids area? 

Currently own one rental property and looking to expand rapidly!

@Julie Fagan - I'm from Grand Rapids, MI - yes you can do cash for keys - have them sign a quit claim - it has to have specific language in the deed in order for most title companies to want to insure it. 

Downtown LA is expected to grow rapidly as it has been, predicted 7-10% rise in value by next year.

Then try all three lists in your planned 500 increments weekly.

I am currently putting the pieces together for a new business which involves partnering to able to build a large rental portfolio rapidly.  

Here in West MI, and Grand Rapids, MI it's taken a while to build up a network of: inspectors, loan officers, contractors, and sub-contractors, etc... but once you've got those folks in place, and you've checked their references / done your research, then the next big step is to take the leap...

If it is below market, have a plan to incrementally increase rents over time, not all at once.
