Is center mid-block or at a hard-corner of signalized intersection?

I'm going to try the bat signal here: @Brandon Turner @David Greene help!

Any other solution just saves up-front costs but is more painful down the road.

I did about 35 buy/fix/sell/rent houses in Ohio over the years and got bogged down in repairs, repair people problems and budget problems.How much fix up do you think is worthy and doable before a project gets to be a real pain?

I heard the insurance can also be a real pain due to the hurricanes etc.Anyone with experience in either/both the FL & CA market that can weigh in on this?

The first one was painful. 

I’ve been getting mixed signals from different forums to steer clear of Baltimore and others are praising it.

To do so would make it extremely painful to run your business effectively.

@Eric Gutierrez I feel your pain

Think of it this way:Snag a house in the hottest market in the country --> pain to finance (HML or otherwise) ---> can't/barely afford payments ---> try to hurry the fix n' flip process ---> make rookie mistakes under pressure ---> waste time, money and resources.Either your mentor is ripping you off OR you did not understand his system by asking the right questions.
