I personally have success in doing flips with my partner here in Ohio.Lakewood and Edgewater are gentrifying neighborhoods in Cleveland.

The question is, what is the intention  of the owner, not what would a reasonable person think is the intention of the owner.

A new person moves in and she says the upstairs neighbors are creating a ton of noise.

Private money and personal funds.

I am here to create a business strategy that protects personal and business investments and mitigates risk,  procure a coach or mentor, and set up tax strategies to create long-term wealth for myself and my family. 

For example, at the start, do you confirm if all persons in the house are aware of your presence, and do you ask if it is OK for you to open bedroom, bathroom and closet doors?

The person had something of an accent.

I am still personally buying rentals but I am not expecting much in the way of cash flow at the moment.

I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.

Personally, I find BTRs to be more predictable with fewer ongoing maintenance issues, and they tend to attract high-quality tenants.
