This would help you get going.You might be able to make these a  little nicer and force appreciation and a little higher rent.Either way rents will go up over time and the mortgage with remain constant.Maybe even make one unit a STR which could see higher income.I'd be ok with break even or a little bit negative on a Quad given you have 4 properties in one.If you're only breaking even you still have depreciation and other tax write off to help you out.I usually make people 3 offers.

This step is crucial and can make or break the success of your investment.How did you narrow down your search to Akron and Cleveland?

And even (no “especially”) someone who has done so much for so many (that awesome free or cheap education, those fees so cheap at Quest that he evidently sold for nada and, as to most of the 401k’s, no one wanted them even for free) perhaps deserves a freaking break.

Land already acquired and we're breaking ground in the Spring.

All of that said, I just want to get together occasionally to give my wife a break from me talking about real estate all of the time.

I know that's not a huge cash flow, and any repairs could make me break even.
