At present,  I am educating myself as much as I can on the art of wholesaling (via BP, podcast, print, and NOREIA meetings) and I am also studying to obtain my real estate license.  

I am trying to be extremely conservative in the numbers I use but I know this is obviously more of an art than a science.

Modern art?

It is difficult having to make decisions without seeing the property first hand, but I trust in the art of due diligence enough to want to make more of those kinds of deals.

There is a lot to know on the legal end of things, and learning how to deal with tenants is an art itself.

The dont call it the "overkill" art for nothing,

Get some art, blankets, pillows, rugs, side tables, bookshelves (with books), etc. 

While it doesn't have industry, it has the best Hospital in America (Cleveland Clinic), a new Amazon Center is being built there, an up and coming food and beer scene (two of the top 50 breweries in the world are in CLE), and loads of other scenes (art, music, etc) that gives the sense that Cleveland is doing what Pittsburgh did and is making a come back.

The development of financial projections is an art unto itself that goes well beyond the scope of this article.

But I am all for a new state of the art amphitheater in Birmingham, I think we could use it.
