Don't just put a body in there to put a body in there, you wont have the time, energy or money to evict at this point.Take cost to remodel plus cash flow to the bank with your asking price, if you can get a pre approval to buy the property than present your offer with what is needed to spend on property.It took me a year to get the bank to take my offer, once a month I would stop by just to say high, they had other offers, but then they would go to the building find out what a disaster it was and either walk or change the offer, the bank always said no, why you ask, because not one of the offers came with a pre approval, unbelievable, cash talk BS walks.The Bank I received the loan from looked at the remodeling numbers than market value after completion, I took the banker on a tour of said property showed the my written plan and bingo, he says this is a great deal.

Of course there was a cost of doing business in this manner, as the broker had to get paid (either buy you or the lender or both - back in the post crash days.)In the post Dodd-Frank increased regulatory environment of lending today, the advantages are not as great using a broker as they used to be. 

So far I haven't found a dead body, but I'm sure that's just a matter of time.

Most of the crowdfunding sites rely on technology to do what used to take a bunch of bodies to do.  

Cleveland is the epicenter for BioMedical Research and Development amongst many many many more things, with sophisticated arts that are world recognized to having all major sports teams except Hockey & Soccer, being positioned on one of the worlds largest fresh bodies of water. 

I believe holistically success for me would be to peak in mind, body, and spirit interaction.
