East and West gtown are very different...

All that could change tomorrow as we seem to be moving back towards the days of the wild wild west in short sales again - but as of now, you can be pretty sure that a lender with a junior on a property with a Fannie/Freddie first, will in fact agree to that standard amount. 

I am currently looking for a mentor or a guide here in the West Chester/Cincinnati Area who would be willing to show me what I need to learn as I know I have a lot to learn.

Instead, we purchased a townhome in the rice village/west university area and decided to "House Hack" part time by renting it out as a vacation rental.We are actually in the process of moving back to the Nashville now, so we've listed the house for sale (just posted details in marketplace if you want to read more about our experience).

We look nationwide for parks while avoiding the west coast, Florida and New England.   

its highly market specific also.. some areas of the country are much eaiser to that in.IE low value  more homes than peeps.. older functionally obsolete money pits that kind of thing.keep in mind in the cities where wholesaling works.. there are tons of vacant homes even today.I think for instance indy has 4k vacant homes.Detroit who knows how manyChicago thousands.Philly 10k plusBaltimore same thing.those areas is where buying low seller for more is quite common.. and other smaller little towns throughout the mid west and northeast.. 

@Rick C.In the West Indies people usually remove their furniture from their properties and expose them in the sun.

Lately I have been getting crazy good returns in South Augusta flips (and they go under contract in a couple days), but demand for Columbia County and West Augusta distressed property has been too strong and overpriced IMO. 

@Irina Belkofer I am currently living on the west side in Edgewater.
