My firm has a 3 month seasoning period that will get you up to 140% of your purchase price and rehab costs. 

If you're looking at Cleveland, I suggest reading The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods to get yourself an understanding on the market. thank you!

Around Gaithersburg, Germantown, Rockville area the houses over there appreciate very nicely and the communities are amazing from what I've seen.Frederick does have alright neighborhoods but they dont align where I want to live, the rental growth is low, the houses do not appreciate that well over there, the areas communities are a bit seperated diversity wise.

Milwaukee has a lot of old neighborhoods, so any form of rehab-driven strategy has plenty of opportunity.

If you're gonna look at Cleveland, I'd say you wanna read The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods before making any buys.

I paid 20k for the first lot i bought in Charleston in the poorest neighborhood of downtown..

It is the worst because you need to understand the patchwork of regulations across the state, which can vary down to a neighborhood by neighborhood basis.

Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

And you now know this, but never, ever, neglect to have a firm contract and SOW in place again.

First, a lot of people with Section 8 vouchers end up staying in the same neighborhood because it’s where they feel comfortable, where their family is, or just because they know the area.
