If I buy turnkey, Im putting 25% down on any property, which is like 30-45K in Cleveland, and Im still at risk of running into issues because we all know that most turnkey properties aren't actually turnkey, they're lipstick on a pig.

Hey @Benjamin Carver, so there are a lot of generalities in your statement that aren't always true.Location is cool.

These currently aren't fancy units. - Value add - When building additional units, what steps should be taken to determine how many can be built? 

I’ve heard that this neighborhood doesn’t really have any problems from a social worker but outside areas aren’t good. 3/4 units are currently rented at $900 each, renters pay utilities.

membership is something like APPL which is just non regulated group of private investors working on best practices but there is no authority behind them like  state license or NMLS registration has ..

They could include things like waivers for documents and appraisals, relaxation of underwriting standards and money to fund repairs.However, there are benefits for people who just live in the areas, but aren't directly impacted.

If they aren't sending you personalized investment deals that meet your buying criteria, they are NOT a good agent!

If you aren't in that club yet, do a few flips and build some bank. 

In fact, these alleged loans aren't loans at all.

If you aren't getting any traction within about 10 more days, your asking rent is probably too high for this time of year.
