Yes, Cleveland has a ton of multi-family homes, the schools are pretty low rated.The suburbs have less duplexes but the school systems are a bit better.

A lot of the properties below $100k I saw looked like in locations that were in pretty bad shape.

That’s a pretty good amount to start out with if you’re creativeIf you already have around $40,000 to invest then finding an affordable coach that can help you find under market valued deals and can help lead you and guide you through the process from start to finish is probably better than going to a course or reading a book.

I don't think you even need to be a general contractor or subcontractor to set up an account there.They have a cool warehouse Northwest of Chicago.Otherwise, Home Depot's Lifeproof floor is pretty nice too, but not sure how it compares in pricing to what you saw.

$2,000 rent for a 3x2 1500 SF house is pretty fair$2,000 at a 30% expense ratio which is way too low is$1,400 NOI per month$16,800 NOI per yeara 7% cap rate is $240,000$240,000 at a 6% interest rate and 30-year amortization is $1,428.92 per month or a 0.97 DSCRTo get to a 1.25 DSCR at these numbers you could only borrow $187,000 at a 6% interest rate with a 30-year amortization. 

I'm pretty sure this is allowed within California based on articles by CRES Insurance, but unsure about how to send clients to other state realtors as a finder.My question is: If I make agreements with realtors in various states outside California, can I send them clients and collect finder fees?

I do try and attend a few meetings a week with the community, but the forums and my own deals keep me pretty busy. 

It is pretty typical for many wholesalers to overstate ARV and underestimate rehab costs. 

Is there any particular items that I underestimate or Did I just pretty much lowly estimate on all items?

Just to explain the reason for my pointing out the updates; just a month ago it was cosmetically pretty ugly and I’ve added some square footage to the home.
