Personal guarantees are EXTREMELY common.

DOM nationwide isn't really terribly useful; in extreme situations we will already know the national economic situation.

In my experience, success in D-class areas almost always requires being local, extremely hands-on, and self-managing.

In terms of performance, I will be honest with you: it all comes down to your source of lists, the way you set up your campaigns, and last but not least, your templates.

Besides reading and listening to podcasts, my wife and I attend a local real estate investor meetup that has been extremely beneficial. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

Be a pro, be honest, be fair, be consistent, communicate, and you'll do well from an investor's perspective.

This thread is extremely interesting!
