Great post and very motivating! Finished my first real flip and put it on the market recently. I’ve been very nervous but posts like this really motivate me! Hope to follow in your successful footsteps.

I’ve paid 400-500 for single family homes that size as well. Seems to be an average rate

Hi everyone,

I’m Ed! Bigger Pockets and real estate newbie. Looking to dip my toes in the rental area and pick up a couple properties. I’m looking at the Little Rock and Cleveland areas.

Really enjoying the forums and all the great information!

Welcome to the site Ed. Tons of opportunity here in the Cleveland market. Just don't get caught up in the low low prices of certain neighborhoods. Some areas here in Cleveland are down right brutal. I wrote The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods so out of state folks don't end up making risky moves based on looking at our market with those out of state eyes. There is a reason some of our neighborhoods have homes selling for 5x more than similar homes in other neighborhoods. The Cleveland Ghetto has taken many out of state nest eggs. Go into it with eyes wide open.

Thank you for the feedback! It’s very much appreciated. I was looking at the Lakewood area and I’m happy to see it grades out ok on your list.

Thank you everyone for the positive responses. Loving the community here. Very much excited to be a contributing member as well.
