@Guifre Mora Just adding my 2 cents on DealCheck. I've got my own spreadsheets that I use for an initial analysis of properties. But once I've identified something worth really digging into, I drop it into DealCheck. This tool was awesome when I first got it, but it has only gotten better. I've sent them lots of feature recommendations and it is great to see how responsive they are. Many of the suggestions I've made have been implemented and the product gets better as they continually update it. For I think $85 a year, it is well worth it. Here's an example of one type of output... If you're going to be presenting your deals to potential investors or want to showcase your work after the fact, it really helps to make it look professional.

@Joshua Filkill Cleveland is not that big, so I think by now you've gotten some really good recommendations above! Personally I focus on the west side. I'm happy to chat sometime if you'd like. I seem to be zooming on a daily basis now anyhow :)  Feel free to connect.

I'm already a MF investor in Tampa Bay FL with 66 units, but very interested in pursuing this method..

Matthew - I ended up finding funding partners on my last few deals so the MLA was not needed. Sounds like an excellent tool to have in the toolbox but unfortunately I have not gained any experience with it on my own yet. 

@Maurice Bell Sounds like you stumbled upon a great lead very early on, Congratulations! But it also sounds like you're not really ready to perform just yet either. I've been an investor for some time but just started wholesaling myself, so I know how nerve wrecking it can be when you've got a great lead but you're not sure what to do. You can find lots of sample contracts on BP in the files section. But my recommendation would be to reach out to a successful wholesaler in your area with a good reputation and offer to share in the profits if they help you close the deals. If they help you thru the process, the knowledge you gain will be worth the profit you sacrifice. Good luck!

@Andrew B. My CPA, Dawn Hryshko is in the Cleveland area and she'll be speaking at my meetup this week. We're only going on our 2nd year working with her, but she has been great so far. VERY experienced and knowledgeable in the real estate area.
