Way to enter real estate investing.

In many places wholesalers are largely unregulated unlike a real estate agent.

With $150K, I could easily put together a portfolio of 6 rent properties from deals I see every week, including last week.Just get started.

This is why its difficult if not impossible to sell a STR for any more than property value - the market perceives that the additional profitability of a STR doesn't belong to the STR operator - it belongs to the App platform.If you can migrate to "independence", i.e. self generated business, then not only will you have a long term sustainable business, but a good chance to sell the STR for a substantial premium to real property value. 

Jonathan Having worked most of those markets (Detroit included), I'd say most all of them will offer investors a very similar return.

My partner and I have ~20 doors in Columbus OH, and we are interested to expand our portfolio to Cleveland, including around Lorain and Euclid.

We ran it past our real estate agent and lender — but I'm all for shoring up.

Sold it, setting a new price record for the street at the time.

Was something mitigating the noise at that time that you could use now?

But if I sold today I likely would lose atleast 10k.Would it be feasible to just relocate for the job and rent the house for the time being and see what happens?
