Digging down is a project I am just finishing up.... it is exhausting but potentially worth it.

Was it worth it? 

I've seen many landlords that get lucky with good renters for a long period of time, then everything falls apart when they have to deal with real difficulty.I looked up your property on Google Maps, and the street view looks bad.

I’m not sure where to go from here or what, if any recourse can be made to recoup my money.My take is you get what you pay for & low interest is not worth the crap we had to ho thru and in the end, they didn’t come thru but will brag how they close hundreds of deals a month.well, they didn’t close this one!

I’ve got 18 SFR in Grand Prairie, Arlington and Fort Worth.

The properties are trashed, and not worth much. 

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?

Also know that upon sale sometimes the presence of more water meters increases value.Curious to understand the forum's opinion on the best water meter configuration given costs OR if it’s just not worth it and I should leave the one master meter and stick with RUBS on all 4 units.

It’s great that you’ve already identified zip codes like 73128, 73170, and 73135; they all have unique advantages worth exploring.I agree with the earlier response—73170 and 73135 are solid picks.

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.
