Hey Asma, Section 8 investing in Cleveland, OH is a great strategy, I have a couple of investors that buy a property a month in Cleveland and Lorrain County.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

I'm looking at Nevada - property tax rates are low and there's lots of appreciation.I'd recommend attending local meetups so you can talk with investors who buy in CA as well as OOS and ask lots of questions.

If there are two borrowers, then of course if a POA is used it would be limited to one borrower...If both borrowers were available and/or decided to attend they would both sign the loan and therefore no POA.2.

I had a few tenants e-sign 6 documents with multiple pages in a couple minutes and realized they did not read any of it! 

Now you're at 31% return.Now thats making a couple of key assumptions - 1) the property you're buying is around 500k.

A couple of things to keep in mind: you mentioned PadSplit.

First - I think your accountant should be providing you recommendations for cost segregation companies.It it most likely, if he/she works with real estate investors, that he/she would have a couple to recommend.Second - There are two types of cost segregation studies.Type 1 - Conducted by an engineering firm where an engineer will inspect the property.

I'm not going to itemize a couple of drywall scratches that need some spackle and touch up paint. 

You are wise to limit your scope to a particular type of company.I have been in the industry for the past two decades, and from my years in the business, I can recommend a couple of other companies outside of my family.
