Hi all,I've met and spoken with a few great prof's in the Columbus area, and since then, have made 2 offers on home (both didn't work out).I'm going out to visit in December to meet with and talk to a few people; including sellers directly.My question is for those of you who have experience and a few properties + in the mid-term / corporate rental realm.How have your vacancy rates changed over the last year to 2 years? 

I have 2 short-term rentals in WNC, one long-term rental in AZ currently for sale, 2 lots for sale, and a fixer-upper to be fixed.

I have an organization and a cost structure that is built for 500k deals, we'd loose money on a 150k deal with % commission.Wholesalers can take a 60k house and mark it up 10k.

When it comes to choosing between a turnkey property and a fixer-upper using the BRRRR strategy, it really depends on various factors, including your market conditions and where you are in your investing journey.

If you rent the basement room to someone or market the house as a whole counting the basement as a bedroom and a fire breaks out and someone dies or is injured in the basement without an appropriate egress from the room you could be liable for all of that.   

On top of that, with affordability and a median home price below the national average, Cleveland stands out as an attractive option.

To everyone on the wholesaling forums, understand this:Focus on learning from those with real experience and a proven track record of success.Don’t waste your energy on negativity.

@Dylan Jeluso Brother, I have both a GC and a Real Estate license, and if someone had advised me earlier, I would have focused on building deals and relationships first.

Weekly updates AND a requirement for the borrower or someone from the borrower's team to respond within 24 hours of being contacted.This is a good one! 

In addition I also offered cash and a quick closing timeframe.
