Quote from @Evan Thomas Andriola: For those with properties (preferably duplexes in Cleveland) do you usually rent places with appliances (fridge, stove, etc.) already included or do you ask tenants to bring their own (mostly section 8).

I mean one of these posters was told their "turnkey" property had dangerous sidewalk conditions questioning how "turnkey" the property was and their response was the tenant's don't care about the sidewalks.

I wonder with Canadian economy struggling if there is potential to purchase distressed properties that could be converted into long-term rentals or successful AirBnbs (especially in the cabin markets that have been hit hard).

It depends on your financial strength, the quality of the property, how many properties you own, etc.I like to start with one significant expense and three months of vacancy.

Depending on the State in which the property is located, foreclosure starts through a judicial process or a non-judicial process. 

Search for properties listed 90+ days.

After you find a great realtor, I do recommend getting pre-approved asap so you can be qualified for financing and know exactly how much you can afford for a property.

Getting into almost any property in Charlottesville for under $200,000 is quite the feat.

Hey Stepan,In today’s market, finding solid flip deals requires being more strategic with property selection.

If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright.
