The vast majority of the crime that you are referring to is confined to 2 apartment complexes on the corners of 38th and Post and 42nd Post which gives the entire area the reputation that it has.

There are two power systems, battery operated or hard wired, which allow the meter to communicate with a wireless router that sends the data to a database at the company (this is accessable to you the owner/property manager via the web) and then a bill is sent to the tenants automatically at a interval that you set.

They can point you to hard money lenders that are reputable. 

If not, however, there are some pretty good private/hard money programs out there that may be able to get you started and build your reputation as an investor. 

I agree with @Alina Trigub, You may want to consider a reputable partner from the area you are looking at for the first one.

You may even find a reputable person to partner on a deal with you, and bring in funds.Beware of websites promising 100% Hard Money Loans.

@Alina Trigub I mainly work with web applications.

Hello BP Community,I love this web site and want to thank @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner and @David Greene for the great Podcast!

Looking for a reputable Property Management Company near Garfield Heights, OH.  

First of all, I found the listing through a turnkey real estate investment company (found here on FB), and with stable and reputable property management in place and no renovations , wouldn't the "low rent" riskiness be more than mitigated by the volume of units (45/48 units) already tenanted?
