Well 1st off, I am not sure who you are speaking with or what you are looking at, you are NOT buying fully renovated props for 80k or less in Cleveland. 2nd you are not getting a loan if you do not have a US address and bank acct (Unless there is a new program that started last month or so) I have dozens of clients from overseas that would love to get a loan but cannot.

Aiming to get a C property, in a B neighborhood, to attract the best of the worst in terms of clients to capture stability of section 8.The biggest thing I'm stuck on is knowing who to trust. 

@Tim Phillips100% of the time I advise my client base in Memphis, TN to start slow and cautious.

Most of my coaching clients either have experience or partner with others to gain the track record.

Investors buy here because of strong jobs, strong rent growth, strong appreciation and the future cash flow but honestly many of my clients are playing the long buy and hold, appreciation game.

Jeff Beach the owner has taken deposits for over 2 years from clients.

I have on occasion learned that my client would ask the Realtor questions about the loan that I didn't know they had.

“Because the $20,000 took so much away from their equity to put into another home, they decided not to sell,” she said.Another client of Chaname had difficulty selling his home because would-be buyers balked at paying $16,000 more for a home with HERO-financed air conditioning, duct work, water heater and insulation when similar homes were selling for less.The buyers argued they were paying for the improvements twice – through the higher valuation on the house and assumption of the loan.

I'm a real estate agent and sometimes have to reschedule my calls with him to do showings or need debt/deal calculators for my clients and he's always understanding of it and comes through.Rich is THAT guy, lots of respect for him!

The city is going through massive revitalization, prices have doubled in the last 5 years but are still quite cheap, and Detroit experienced its first uptick in population in almost 70 years.I was just in SF last weekend and met a couple of clients.
