the event i went to in tampa last year at a resort had security but I think the other Mendenhall brother that no longer works there oversaw it they seemed professional and were ex military type guys..two k9 dogs were there. 

AND prices have come down a bit in the last few years.Get a good grip on your personal spending and CUT BACK on everything for a couple of years.

It only has positive cash flow due to concessions by the seller that will last about 2 years.Property values have seemed to drop in that area, so I'm doing something different by requesting a reassessment of my property taxes.

The seller said this is in a gentrified area so there's potential to rehab this effectively and get a high payout as shown in the last comp.

The last one I dealt with for the past two weeks, is a large corporate cash buyer that just admitted that they need 90-180 days to close on a deal!

I've only evicted a tenant through the court system three times in the last ten years, but I remove about a dozen tenants every year outside of the court system, all legally.Any tenant can move out in two weeks.

Quote from @Joshua Janus: Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!
