I'm a broker in 18 states, and none that I can think of require Disclosure of repaired issues, including NC.

What would people recommend I pursue, commercial or residential broker? 

Quote from @Patrick Shep: I haven't had any brokers ask about students as renters.  

All a "wholesaler" is, is an illegal real estate broker.

I have brokered several deals in the Cleveland market. 

, the broker says this is not the case. 

I have a few properties and am also a mortgage broker, happy to answer any questions about general investing or financing options.

Same broker team i used for the 1st one.

Here are my recommendations:1) Check with your insurance broker first. 

Target ReturnsWhile target returns are crucial, these should be discussed only with investors—not brokers or others helping you find deals.Sample Investment CriteriaHere’s an example of well-defined CCC:Location: Primary and secondary cities in the Southeast with population growth.Type & Class: Class C garden-style or walk-up workforce housing with repositioning opportunities.Age: 1980s construction or newer (case-by-case for older).Price: $5M–$12M, requiring $1.5M–$3M in funds.Size: 100+ units.Cap Rates: Market rates.Roof Type: Pitched roofs preferred.Value-Add: Opportunities for improvements or better management.Why This MattersBy creating crystal clear criteria, you:Avoid wasting time on deals that don’t align with your goals.Build trust with brokers and partners by demonstrating a focused investment strategy.Increase your chances of finding deals that meet your financial and operational objectives.I'll be posting each chapter as I go through them so you can follow along from my notes and we can discuss different strategies.
