Depending on how much you want to invest into your choice of property, Jim Wise is knowledgeable about the Cleveland area.

I've seen lenders exempt years spent in college as "work history" but the borrower would still need to have sufficient funds/reserves and a solid credit score. 

A 1031 is not a choice unless your you know something negative about your property not present in the target.

Sounds like you have sufficient seasoning.

Usually a 1 to 1 or 1.25 is standard..or the $1k needs to be sufficient to cover the PITI of the proposed loan.

My last loan was for 9.25%, so if I had my choice I would leave it in my personal name and up my insurance on it. 

I personally think out-of-state investing is a top choice.

With a non-spouse inherited IRA you have (up to) 4 choices:-Cash it all out now-Cash it all out over 5 years-Take required minimum distributions based on your life-Take required minimum distributions based on the life expectancy of the oldest beneficiary of the inherited IRAEach of those options has different tax implications.

@Marc Shin "when the cat's away, the mice will play"Appropriate saying in regards to remote rehabs.As soon as most contractors figure out they aren't being properly managed because you aren't able to go to the jobsite regularly:1) They will take a long time to get things done2) Quality will suffer3) Highly likely to over-charge4) Highly likely to "create" more work for themselves5) Greater chance of billing you for work not done and materials they use on other jobsCan be done if you know what you're doing & have resources to check on them.Many are posting to ask an agent for contractors, but a PMC is usually a better choice.
