For appliances, in my market, black appliances are still going into new homes, so I bought a new black mic on sale for $200, a new black dishwasher @ the Sears clearance outlet for $200, and a used stove and fridge off Craigslist for $250.

We are excited to be a part of this site, to meet new people and to learn new things to help us be successful in our new business.

@Michael EalyI get that it’s your market and you feel defensive about it.That’s ok.But it’s not ok to misrepresent others.At no point have I said it’s impossible to make money in the Midwest.Not on my blog post, and certainly not here on this thread so far.All I’ve stated is that it’s no longer for me and that other out of state investors should be careful and proceed with extreme caution.It’s clear some local investors make it work.Swanny that you just mentioned has clearly already detailed in an earlier comment on this same thread how he lost big on at least 2 Cleveland buildings.When you get so defensive, it certainly raises all sorts of red flags about your own personal motives.We know there are so many people on BP who make a living out of ensnaring unsuspecting out of state investors into bad Midwest deals by painting unreasonably rosy picture of what’s actually on ground.And making outlandish claims of big successes that are often unverifiable on sites like BP is not new.It’s how the majority of predatory gurus online make their money.This post is about the other point of view.Let us be heard.Stop being so defensive and quit fighting me.

If not for us being in the apartment we would have never known3-Last but not least.

The camera is connected via wifi to a TP-Link router with a LTE air card plugged into the USB port.

Also, it is very easy for our clients to get hard money from us b/c we have great relationships with the private lenders.

Hello good folks of BP,My wife and I will be closing on our first owner-occupied rental property (duplex) in May 2019 and I'm trying to do as much up front leg work as possible to prepare for us being new landlords. 

Nest type thermostats, keyless deadbolts, connected smoke alarms, wireless cameras, bluetooth items, USB ports, etc.

Lack of control is a big negative in real estate investing but I totally get why you would invest out of state being in SD right now, us being so late in the cycle.
