Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

One thing you might do is sell your more expensive properties and buy less expensive ones. 

We ran out of time which caused us to buy a couple properties we probably shouldn't have at the bottom of our exchange list.The better ones were sold before we could buy them. 

Hey Somesh,I was wondering if you ended up buying a property in Cleveland and if so, how it’s going.I’m also from Toronto and looking to invest in Cleveland.  

I've worn three hats in the seller financing world (as a property buyer, as a property seller offering terms, and as an investor that buys seller financed note). 

Are the other properties you're buying in/around Macon? 

The more information that you have out there the easier it is for people to find you, if you want them to find you.I almost everyday wear my "Rick Buys Houses" shirts with my phone number on it. 

when i buy dirt and do the horizontal these deals can take 2 to 3 years 2 years to get through approvals and horizontal  12 to 18 months to build and sell.. thats a 20 to 25 lot project.

If you want to manage your own properties, I would highly recommend buying within an hour of your primary.

@Samuel Coronado - the challenge is that there will likely be a very small number of renters looking for a house that size, as well as that can afford a rent amount that high who won't just buy otherwise.
