Btw, I am a graphic designer if there anyway I can help you please do not hesitate to contact me.

Additionally, based on the info graphic, it appears you would be buying in somewhere near the top of a real estate cycle. 

In no way am I an economist, or would ever claim to understand the true depth in being able to speak on these subjects, however I would estimate given the current economic climate that investing with appreciation as your primary source of growth would be a dangerous investment.Perhaps this is a showcase of my own lack of experience, but I would rather invest in safer cash flowing assets until we see the economic correction everyone has been preaching about. 

Some of the negative comments on this post showcases this.I don’t know if I’m a unicorn or the 5% of the wholesaler newbs.

I have an 18-unit in Cleveland.Pretty much stabilizing for this first year, getting rid of inherited deadbeat tenants etcI have gone to Cleveland twice since acquiring the asset in September 2017:once during initial due diligence and I just came back from walking all units again with my PM last week.Wouldn't have it another way.Much less involved in it compared to my local Jacksonville buildings as my PM as been awesome in communicating.Oh by the way,I read this recent article on BP condemning Cleveland and Memphis to the bottom of some list of "6 cities"...I have no idea why people make these sweeping generalizations based on some graphic or data.It's like a girl saying to herself:"most men cheats I'll never fall in love".It's easy to write an article or create a spreadsheet while drinking beer in your man cave.I just returned from a week of walking the streets of Cleveland taking in the billions of $ in new investment in the downtown area and east of the Flats where an unbelievable transformation has happened since I last lived there in 2011.Vacancies are down, rents are rising.Yet some guy who's never actually been to Cleveland sits somewhere in LA and writes articles about how net immigration in Cleveland is negative etc.Hilarious.

We used a consistent color scheme throughout (earthy green hues from Magnolia home), and printed old graphics of the Green Valley Lake area to put on the wall for travelers to get inspiration from.

I also use VA's for our marketing, managing our social media pages, creating graphics, ads, etc.

This will be further complicated because you do not want to look into anything within the city of Baltimore (which is where properties of this price point will be most common) The graphic below shows the median home values of Baltimore and surround incorporated cities.
