Jeff,
You are working your way up the list very quickly by participating in all the topics. You must be very determined! Good for you.

Nice to meet you and I look forward to working with you.
Be prepared; I will be picking your brain whenever I can!
Enjoy......

Debbiejo,

Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the kudos. I've noticed that you're doing the same yourself. I seem to see your name on a lot of topics here lately.

I am very determined, and I am glad to help with anything I can. I'm enjoying sharing and learning at the same time with all of the crew here.

Hi Jeff,

Call David he will give you more details. He is doing good so far with me paying me referral fees. His number is 414-322-9119. Let him know that Shonda referred you.

He said you can come look at the place also.

Shonda

I have to find out if that's where my friends are moving for sure. If they're heading that way I will probably just pass along the info to them in this case. We'll see, but I appreciate you passing David's info along.

Jeff

Jeff,
I joined the group you started, and was going to post a message. I could not determine how to do that.

I am originally from Western Michigan, and I lived in South West Michigan for a few years before moving west. I was wondering where you are located. I lived in Watervliet.

Hello,

Nice to meet you, Al. Sorry for the challenge with the group posting. It should be working now.

As for me, I'm originally from the Kalamazoo/Mattawan area. Now I live farther south in the greater Sturgis area.

Do you still have family or friends in the area? Ever make it back out this way? Where are you at now?

Jeff

Ok, I got smart and remembered that I could look at your profile to see where you're at now.

How's the weather out in AZ?

I enjoy Arizona from October to May. Then it gets hot. I own a piece of property in Oceana county (Hart/Shelby area). I have a Christmas tree farm there. I usually get back every spring to plant trees. My wife's family lives in Benton Harbor area, so we always stop there for a visit. I don't miss the snow, you don't have to shovel sunshine. I am considering buying some properties in SW Michigan, and thought you might want to partner in some if you were still in that area.

Good Luck, Al

The weather's nice out here right now, but I agree I wouldn't miss the shoveling part in the winter.

Sounds like you'd be anywhere from 1-2.5 hrs away when you're out here. Give me a heads up when you're going to be out next and maybe we could work something out. Any particular type of properties you're interested in?

I have a nephew who does remodel work in Benton Harbor area. I have two brothers-in-law that are electricians. I was thinking of purchasing some distressed properties, fixing them, then flipping or renting them. I know that area is pretty depressed right now, and I have not yet researched the best way to cash out.

Al

Hello! This is Koko.
I am fairly new to this site and very impressed with the exciting and encouraging comments posted on the blogs. I live in Gary, In and as may people know there is a lot of poverty in this area. However, I feel that anything is possible with hard work and determination. I saw that you are looking for an apprentice from my area. Well search no longer. I am willing and ready to absorb whatever knowledge and advice you can offer from your own experience. Just give me the chance to show you that "there's more than corn in Indiana". I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I like your determination. I will be up front with you that I don't have much experience yet, but feel like I have the right people/resources in place to help me out.

I am currently working on 6 short sale properties w/ a partner. They are actually in the South Bend area. Do you have any particular strategies that you want to learn how to do or focus on?

I haven't been on here that much lately just because of time. You'll have a better chance of catching me on my regular email. Send me a private message with your email if you want.
