Everytime I visited the weather was poor.  

Established developers with a history of successful projects are generally safer bets. 

Not all syndicators are similar, there are some that take on huge risks and they might not even realize it because for almost 10 years you could buy poorly and the rapid appreciation bailed you out, going forward they might not be able to repeat what worked before.  

This is not sound advice but poor criticism. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

No current liens but these properties have tax deeds, not warranty deeds if that matters.That as-is value is going to make obtaining financing more difficult for sure.Financing options drop off pretty steeply below a certain dollar amount because foreclosure costs for lenders can be significant.Your best bet may be to connect with some local private lenders (local investor meetups/referrals are a good starting point for this) or local banks.

You best is bet is usually to match existing.  

I'll bet it's one of TWO thoughts:😮 There's something WRONG with the car!

I would bet the attic is the 3rd br so it's really about 1k- 1200 sq ft overall. 90% of the props in all of Cleveland have converted the attic to make it a 3 br.

It's a bet on the future appreciation, maybe generates enough income in the meantime to pay taxes and insurance, chances are no cash flow.
