I’m looking for some advice on a fix/flip property that I purchased with two friends almost two years ago.

With that information, you can start to get good at estimating the rehab budget.  

We are good friends but that's also not an issue for them because they are a dual veteran couple.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

I was looking for some advice (viable target areas in Cleveland or Ohio in general, financing options and credible PM/realtor contacts) from the experts here though especially if you are in a similar boat as mine (reside in Canada/Ontario area and invest in US). 

But, there are still deals that can make sense depending on your budget. 

I am betting your gonna find a lot more friendly amicable persons than shut doors. 

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

Then when I exercised the option within a few months.
