An easier path to break into a new market might be investing in turnkey properties with a reputable team. 

Plus, it’s easier to learn and perfect your processes on cashflow properties because they provide an income cushion for any mistakes you might make.Looking at the Greater Toledo market, there are obvious cashflow areas, but what about the appreciation spots?

My goal is primarily to become my own agent for residential SFH flips (3-6 per year), get access to MLS, and easier access to new listings.

Less functionality than Microsoft Word/Excel etc, but easier to manage I've found.Thanks!

I find it so much easier to put all the information that could change over time into a single listing location and then have my auto & manual quick responses use [short cuts] to that information.

By targeting key areas that would increase buyer interest without a full renovation, we significantly boosted the property’s value.

Focus on areas with low vacancy rates, strong rental appreciation and economic growth (check to see if businesses are coming or leaving and what unemployment looks like). during this phase you should decide what tenant profile you are going to target section 8 (or similar)?

Once you identify this, it will be easier to decide what investment you should buy. 

@Kang-Li ChengI cannot comment on this specific company but we buy loans from similar companies (both performing and non performing) and I Can say the consistent component to these companies is they are horrible at underwriting and write loans to collect the points / fees but many of the loans we see we cannot believe they gave that person a loan.I am curious what types of returns they targeted as the invest in one asset model to me is very risky.

I've been targeting probate leads.
