But to be honest my man- Joe is an awesome dude and means no harm, but I could have taught you 99.9% of the stuff you paid $1,500.00 FOR FREE...ALL HE DID WAS THE BASIC FORMULA (JUST WITH HIS "GOOD ENOUGH" RUSH WAY OF DOING THINGS)1) HE DEFINES LEASE OPTION2) AND DREW YOU IN BE GIVING YOU A SMALL VALUABLE VIDEO EXPLAINING THE STEPS3) LEFT YOU WITH A CALL TO ACTION 4) HE COMPILED ALL HIS VIDEOS (YOU CAN SEARCH THE NET AND GET THEM ALL ANYWAY FOR FREE)...

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Harish PasupuletiRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

.: Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Steven DeMarco Several, hopefully helpful, questions:1) Why did you pay so much for this property if it needed all this work?

Quote from @Drew Sygit: Newbies don't care about any of this.Even if they say they do, their actions speak louder than their words!

The locations I am looking into right now are Conway, SC and Titusville/Melbourne, FL.What drew me to these locations are the lower costs of condo's relative to the greater Akron area, as well as the properties are sitting on the market much longer than in my area, and overall higher monthly rents.
