Both construction and eventual casino I would imagine bring more people to the area. 

You will eventually have a house earning $1,000 a month or even $1,500 a month and the property value will be $200,000 more than you bought it for.Instead of incurring more costs by selling and then buying a new property, focus on keeping this one forever and saving up for the next purchase.

Toledo pretty much offers the same, if you're set on that city connect with @Engelo Rumora Thanks for the plug mate,Hi Ken,We probably won't be able to assist as we offer turnkey and only to cash buyers.Our lowest entry point is $65,000 and that buys a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that will rent for around $800pm.Plus, I'm pissed of with investors and lately and keeping all deals for myself heheI think you are on the right track with the 43607, 43612 and 43613 zip code.I encourage you to take a look at 43609 and select areas of 43610 and 43620.BRRR out of state is a recipe for disaster but since you are in Michigan, it isn't too bad I guess.Even being as close as you are and even if you lived in Toledo, I would always advise to get professional property management.An investors role is just that, to be an "investor".Elevate and delegate...Sure, you can probably manage 1,2 or 10 properties but that can eventually turn into a full time job.IMO, you should focus on scaling as in finding deals, raising capital, buying more properties, growing your portfolio, etc...And not dealing with tenants and toilets.Wishing you much success

The goal is to eventually rent out the entire house, pull equity out of the first house, and repeat the process.

Just like how I manage my rentals, I call my property management style "Self-Service Management," where I do less, and just provide the tools and resources to my tenants so they can do things on their own.Well, I've actually tested out many "business" banks (Regions, BofI/Axos, Azlo, Novo, Bluevine, Kabbage, etc.) and eventually, I found the best, for me and my style.

Hoping to find class c houses to eventually reach a higher monthly income from all the rentals.

After the loans are eventually paid off, then add that to your investment plan.

Eventually I hope to cash flow where I'm making larger outright note purchases, but for now at my price point, smaller CFD's (around $15k UPB) are what I can afford.Given that these are CFD's, I'm noticing that recording costs are a little heftier than just recording an assignment of mortgage. 

I live in the Portland, Maine area and am currently launching my real estate wholesaling business as a short term strategy in order to build knowledge, capital, and a network so that I can eventually start investing in my own projects such as fix and flips, and both short and long term rentals.

I recently graduated college - paid for by the houses my parents were flipping while I was off studying - and wanted to find a modest way to give back what I could.To do this, I'm making a tool that lets them scan their receipts and it will automatically upload it to a pre-formatted Google Sheet that they can keep for each property to track expenses and eventually other metrics like returns etc...
