Hello Zachary,  You are correct in looking at the Mid-West for cash flow. 

that's $100K+ in cash PLUS a solid plan to achieve for that return. 

The best part is the free CD is nothing more than a bunch of vague suggestions about how you can make all this money in real estate and vague bragging sessions about how he has been around so long and wants to give you all his knowledge before he croaks (paraphrased) Someday I will be completely immune to the crooks attempts at separating me from my hard earned money.

$77,000 earnings on a $190,000 investment is unheard of in real estate, but quite normal for a well running business.New RE investors are always after cash flow and CoC return.

If I see a listing come up that I want access to ASAP, their value is earned by getting me in and drafting the contract as fast as possible.

If you want to work with multiple agents, those agents know there's a very low chance of ever earning a dime, so they won't waste their time.Agents do much more than find property.

Rank every property you own from best to worst in cash flow2.

I have no idea why folks spend a ton of hard earned money on these "guru"  classes.

I've been buying SFH's out of state all cash as long term hold rentals.
