However, you may be able to get the property at a discount, step in, and solve the problem.

I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Quote from @Alan Asriants: Margins in the market today are extremely tight.

Initial Equity: The discount you achieve when buying below market value.

As a broker, I "buy" a mortgage at a discount from a direct wholesale lender, then mark it up and "sell" it to my client to make a profit.

When a PM does charge a markup, he's usually getting a discount on the service to keep the cost stable.

I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

Those that cannot weather the storm get wiped out.Having cashflow positive properties provides a margin of safety you just do not have with negative cashflow.Why are you focused on buying in your backyard? 

On the flip side, the margins aren’t quite as high as with rehab projects.

I have the ability to find properties that all in costs including rehab and purchase would only be 70 to 80% or ARV on properties. due to this I have been trying to find lenders that allow for less down and rehab coverage since the properties are so discounted.
