I specialize in identifying, negotiating, and investing in new construction homes.The main focus of my investment strategy is to negotiate the best possible deals on new homes in growing communities.

Might not be ideal to go from a personal home to a duplex/triplex/quad but it's a great way to buy with as minimal % down as possible. 

In Cleveland, it is possible to find single-family homes priced under $100,000.

But I don't know how a legal dispute with the bank would pan out and would avoid that if at all possible to just approach them politely and have them void it.  

I have found it is better to use a Broker if possible so they can shop companies, and shop every year vs using a captive agent that can typically only sell their company policies.While it is good to shop, not always good to go with the lowest possible provider on insurance. 

We are thinking about doing my first deal and are here to learn and absorb as much as we possibly can. 

I want this to have as much exposure as possible.  

Without comps and a credible assessment of the condition, it could be a grand slam or  possibly 80k over what you should pay.

As of now my network of connections with agents and investors is very small, and I am looking to expand my opportunities as much as possible so I do need a bit of work when it comes to this aspect. 

My priority is getting as close to cash flowing as possible with minimum investment on a 4 beds 2 baths but I'm also thinking about appreciation because you never know when you'll have to sell...
