@Bryan Drury Thanks for the reply.  

@Will Barnard @Bryan Hancock Bill Gulley Some of this is specific to me, others for information for others.

@Bryan C: this may be the one you asked about (two years ago - but I just got the news,) unless there is another Harbour Portfolio that deals with real estate:https://www.fox13memphis.com/top-stories/buying-a-home-lawsuit-says-company-takes-advantage-of-home-buyers/637267404

In my opinion its best to have an influx of sfhs and multi's.Yes in the midwest rust belt states you can find these homes dirt cheap and some are money pits but on the other hand some are cash cows and u ge them at great prices but what im also finding is that if you're wholesaling them some are hard to get rid of.I say you really have to have a good team either way it go though.Never buy sight unseen thats for sure,I have a friend of mines that has a 6 unit that he paid 1k for in Dayton Ohio right now and unloading it for 6k so these deals are readily available,also take in mind these are alot of areas where arson in pretty rampant.But theres risks in every deal u make,no deal will be foul proof.Dont get scared of talk to other investors,Theres some investors making boat loads of money off of these same properties in the hood where the suit and tie guys wont even get down and look at.For the same price you get these sfhs at you can get multis at the same price period.

Hood as win-win based on its size, but may revert back to the original plan of getting into a college area between semesters (Rice or A&M).Thanks Bryan!

I would not invest in the rust belt for any reason.

Bryan,They do not serve or have agents in my part of the country.

Bryan, you and I can talk for hours about our philosophies on this topic.
