Join the Urban Detroit Wholesalers Revolution! at our Detroit real estate site

With the start of this year, Urban Detroit Wholesalers is taking Detroit by storm! Urban Detroit Wholesalers will forever change the way investors buy REOs, foreclosures, and wholesale deals. It will also change the way you work with Realtors and how you view your fellow real estate investors.

How is Urban Detroit Wholesalers going to do all that?
Urban Detroit Wholesalers actually buys properties in bulk directly from asset managers at prices you only imagine in your dreams. We in turn pass these great deals on to other investors, wholesalers, and Realtors. Since we own these ourselves, we can sell them anyway we want and we can accept any form of payment we want! And in the spirit of cooperation we will do the unheard of in this business.

We will sell on Land Contract (contract for deed)
We will accept credit cards through Paypal
We will allow investors to assign our properties
We will allow double closings

We know how investors play the game because we are active investors ourselves. We own multiple rental units in Detroit. In our mind, the easier the game is to play, the more money to be made by all. We want investors to make money and Urban Detroit Wholesalers is going to make that easier than ever!

Being active investors, we understand all of the aspects of making an investment property purchase, especially from out of state. Sometimes all of the due diligence required can be a pain in the butt to get done in a timely fashion.

This is where we are also revolutionizing the wholesaler industry! Urban Detroit Wholesalers will provide all of the following due diligence for every property we sell on a website coming very soon:

Multiple pictures inside and outside of the property
Video walk through of the exterior, interior, and neighborhood.
List of repairs recommended.
Copy of public records.
Three “real” comps.

We are also willing to share our highly skilled team of professionals with anyone who buys or sells one of our properties. Imagine not having to worry about finding a great property management company, or an honest and reasonable general contractor? I’m sure after buying or selling one of our properties, you will never use anybody again because we make it so easy. While there is always risk when investing, sleep well that the same professionals that work on our deals are working on yours.

Join the Urban Detroit Wholesalers Revolution and make sure to get added to our VIP buyers list. Most of our deals never make it to the website so make sure you never miss another one!

Real Estate in the News

While there is an endless stream of doom and gloom in the news I recently read a great article about gearing up to take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities in real estate in that 2008 will offer. To read the article click the link below.

http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/articles/investor-highlight-new-years-resolutions-51391.aspx
With foreclosures predicted to be at an all time high and with banks taking back even more properties (REOs), 2008 will be an extremely profitable year for the savvy investor with a plan.

Do you have a plan to take advantage of this opportunity? What are you going to do different to put more properties in your portfolio? Don’t put yourself in a situation to look back on 2008 years from now and do the shoulda, woulda, coulda dance! If you don’t have a plan contact us at http://www.wholesalemi.com/ and we will assist you in creating your plan.

Motivation in Real Estate

I was writing a letter to my sister in Florida earlier today and I wrote a sentence that caught me by surprise and I would like to share it with you.

“Most people can only tell you how something won’t work.”
Jeremy Burgess

I was trying to give my sister hope and motivation and this sentence popped into my head. Most people fail because they listen to “most” people. If all you can imagine is failure and you get caught up in how everything can go wrong and why it won’t work, it will be impossible for you to succeed. This is a new year and it is time to take a stand. No more listening to the naysayers about how something won’t work. Put your mind and heart into, think about how it will work and bury the naysayers with accomplishment!

Surround yourself with like minded, helpful people who want to see you succeed! Network with those who want to see your dream come true. Many successful people have said you are the sum of the top five people you hang out with. Make a commitment to attend a networking event at least once a week. Make new friends who will grow your business and increase your profit. Below are some of the meeting I attend and look forward to every month. For those of you who want to meet me, this is a great way. I am always at these meetings.

Renegade Detroit Investors
Renegade Detroit Investors meeting is my favorite. There are no sales from the front so you don’t have to worry about “getting sold”. The founder Jared Pomranky did such a great job and impressed me so much with these meeting that we started a business together! (This is why you have to network people!). They always have great information to offer and the people I meet there are active investors with much to contribute. Everyone truly cares about each others successes and believe in cooperation with other investors. This is the cheapest education you will get in real estate by those who are actually doing.

First meeting is $10
Starts at 6:00 pm
Peking House, 215 S Washington, Royal Oak, MI
Renegade Detroit Investors

The Power to Be Free
This one caught me by surprise. I met the founder Darrick Scruggs at a Renegade Detroit Investors meeting (see why it is important to network!) and we hit it off right away. Darrick told me about his team and his monthly meetings and I decided to make the effort to go to a meeting. Wow. The people I met were awesome, the speaker was the best I have ever heard (don’t worry, I’m trying to get him for Renegade Detroit Investors), and the information presented was incredibly useful in my everyday business. The only down side is the meeting starts on a Saturday morning at 9AM. Well worth it though. The best part is that this monthly meeting is free! You literally can’t afford to miss this meeting!

Starts at 9AM
Cost is FREE, always!
Meets 3rd Saturday of every month
Located at Troy Walsh College

DOLLARS (Detroit Organization of Leading Landlords and Real Estate Strategists)
This is a smaller meeting for the main reason that to be a member you must have done at least 10 deals or own at least 10 units. Although it is a smaller meeting, everyone there is seasoned and has a wealth of knowledge to offer. Whenever I have a questions on how to do something new I can count on finding the answer there. Don runs the DOLLARS meeting and he does a great jo
b. You should always make time for this meeting.

Starts at 6:30 PM
Cost is $20 a meeting or $100 a year. Includes meal.

REIA of Macomb
Yes, you are going to be given a sales pitch here which can get a little old month after month. However, unlike other REIA meetings I have attended, founders Nathan and Dylan continue to make every meeting better than the last. For those of you who didn’t make it to their last meeting of 2007 you missed out big on the Best vendor fair I have ever attended. I always meet great people at this meeting. If you want success, you can’t afford to miss this meeting.

Book I’m reading that I recommend
The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller
I wish I would have bought this book 2 ½ years ago when I first got started in real estate. I could have saved myself thousands of dollars in seminars and mistakes from the school of hard knocks! I’m serious! I read at least 4 books a month. This is the BEST book on real estate investing that I have ever read. It is practicle, easy to follow, and has no fluff. The reason I wrote the networking part of this newsletter is because of this book. I did on accident what this book confirms is one of the best ways to build wealth. Network. Go out and buy this book now.

Thanks for reading and here’s to a profitable 2008! As always, Happy Investing!

Sincerely and Respectfully,
