They have median household incomes of 52k and 55k respectively.

And does Congress approve this spending?

But I get it in the lower value assets of the mid west and rust belt cities wholesalers dominate because they spend 100s of thousands in marketing for those type of assets..

@Camille Romerounless you are able to spend some significant time in your chosen location in person, and work on building a network there, i would pick a market closer to NYC, within a couple hours.  

In cities like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, you could buy multiple properties for the same $200K-$250K you’d spend on one in a pricier market.

@Trace P. again, why would the government logically spend YOUR tax dollars paying more than market rent for an S8 tenant?

We discuss spending, net worth, and future investing goals with the cash.

So are you spending $100s of dollars per property prior to the tax deed auction for title research? 

It’s simple, people who spend good money on the home of their dreams don’t want STR’s next door to them.  

Unfortunately, this costs $$$ that you shouldn't have to spend.
