It just looks like I can command higher rents more consistently in Cleveland than Akron or Canton, hence my interest.

There is a difference between an operator who did not communicate any problems until the email about the capital went out and the operator who was constantly updating investors on the asset and the difficulties and challenges and preparing investors for the possibility of a capital call prior to actually going through with a capital call.I think the biggest lesson I have learned as an LP over the past few years is that I will absolutely require consistent, thorough and realistic communication from any operator I invest with. 

Trying to wholesale while it can work its like I said very tough to do and your going to have a ton of deals fall out because of the inherent marketing times for dirt.And when your talking about commercial property its even worse.. you will not sell it unless your basically giving it away UNTIL you find a user.. and buyers of commercial are far more sophisticated than buyers of a rural parcel looking to build a cabin or a builder looking to build on infill in a city.In northern CA we bought 72 acres of which consisted of 14 parcels of record. 4 of them 5 acres each were zoned industrial this was a small rural county.. we sold the 9 that were for resi purposes in the first few years.
