(You confirmed something that has been floating in my mind for sometime now.)I often read about all these "creative" options and hustler-approaches to finding a "deal" but often times the things I find are in such poor quality that any sort of rehab (something I too am not eager to do as I have a job) would make it more expensive to buy.I do wonder though, maybe it's just our market, at least in Northern California, comprised of a bunch of angry, anti-government, VC-money-dreaming techies (looks in mirror, haha) so perhaps the midwest reacts better to those letters.

The Pocono's comprises of 3 counties it depends which one you may have interest in. 

Another issue is residual laundry soap in swim suits (if they wear anything) as it can generate a lot of foam, so we use a little dash of an anti-foam product to eliminate it. 

Extreme example; inspector cited a landlord for not having a soap dish for the bathroom sink.

Your assignment contract needs to be short and sweet and totally protect you & your original contract with seller, it also should list the total sale price to investor that comprises principle, assignment fee and down payment.

Moses Lake, Soap Lake or Quincy may be on my radar.  

I started by buying a couple a year and fast fwd 10years and we currently own 375 units comprised on 250 properties(a lot of single family's and some multi-units and commercial properties.

Thus, the MAO would be $67,500 which is much closer to the $75K calculation.I'll step off the soap box now...2) Your agent represents you and should be the person you rely on for accurate market knowledge including comps, rental rates, etc.
