Attending local events builds your network
Michigan Foreclosure Articles October 9th, 2006Its Sunday and we are taking the St. Clair County Alpaca tour. I showed up at the last farm on the tour to met up with Bonnie & my sister Annie. Its looks like we are going to take the plung into the Alpaca ranching with our cows and sheep. Oh boy, more fur. As we were looking at the Huacaya Alpaca (fuzzy as I call them) up walked a friend from high school who we graduated together. Over to my leftwas two couples from our Radio Control Club (Marysville RC Eagles). Now you know, the world is small when all these folks can be at the same farm at the same time … go figure.
My friend from high school and I was talking about real estate and I told him about a farm property that I’m interested in buying. I’m looking to buy it for a friend who is rebuilding their credit. While they do that, we will be selling this home to them on a rent to own bases over the next 12-24 months. What was funny, my friend knew the owners and that they have 3 houses for sale and wanted to unload them asap. The husband was down south working while the wife and kids are up here to sell the properties.
My friend was going to assist me with the deal so his buddy could get some cash right now. After talking for a bit more, my high school friend will become an ant on the ground hunting for properties for us to buy while we say thank you back to them for his efforts. It also pays to attend local events to see if someone you know but have not talked to in a while can help you. The more on your team, the better you will become.
This is Bob, signing off for now!
