Thank you.The general rule I go by, after flipping a ton of houses, is that I regret selling them now.If you buy them right (we’re an exception, as we buy at 7 to 15 cents on the dollar) and rehab them properly, you’ll get a ridiculous profit by keeping them, using strategies like the BRRRR method.Honestly, it doesn’t make much sense to sell them right away if you bought them right.

One metric they provide is new construction sales, which I can use to calculate % of total sales and see whether that value is trending up or down.My question is, in general is a market more or less desirable if there are a lot of new builds hitting the area?

The contract is generally signed by the agent, not the owner.

You will have some cleaning costs with the carpet as stains and general wear and tear.

Nearby suburbs like Lakewood, Rocky River, and Fairview Park also offer solid investment potential with generally good stability and demand.For employers, Cleveland Clinic is a strong presence but hasn’t significantly gentrified the surrounding area.

I worry about you putting too much of your life into one investment given you're limitations on income/working situation anyway.In general expensive primary residences do not make the best rental properties. 

Generally speaking, on the west coast,  tenant protections increase on month-month contracts.

While it's not completely unusual for deals to die at the table, if enough happen in a row you generally need to look in the mirror - what is your role in blowing up the deal?
