Here in Cleveland, Ohio the supply of good investment properties is tight in the middle to high priced areas with abundant opportunity for those with more tolerance for the inner city.  

Been looking at a HUD property and the owner occupant deadline was first supposed to end Sun night at midnight, then it became Mon night for some reason.

People need to live somewhere Ben and credit is tight and I don't think it's going to loosen up for quite a while so I think housing is going to stay hot that's my opinionI always want to buy a good school districts and safe neighborhoods I don't want poor neighborhoods and high crime and that schools just don't want it

Tight lending standards for builders?

But then, I also have a ferocious tight fisted gene. 

It may be tight, but it's doable. 

If I wanted someone to have to report to and beg from with strict deadlines,  I would get a job.  

We are under a tight deadline so any help would be much appreciated.

I believe it is a tight for deals to flip on the MLS right now and more creative methods are working better. 

You can change the locks out yourself fairly easily, as long as everything fits up tight.
