The towns that we know well and have local insights in. 

I decided to break it down and share the REAL costs and not just estimates.A lot of the work was screwing down and fixing the subfloor as well as completely screwing and securing the ceiling sheetrock.

Knowing that area very well, I would say keep the garage.

What I'd like to do is help homebuyers achieve down payment assistance, use a 203k or HomeStyle and potentially house hack as well.

So they may say 2-3% in the contract but do not be surprised if the buyer wants the seller to pay their broker as well.

But I've seen some solid properties in Akron as well that had good cash flow, but definitely seeing rents in Cleveland a bit higher right now

Congrats on your success so far and to future success as well!

@Brandon Pimm my friend and I are in jersey as well looking at Allentown as potential first rental property purchases.

I really appreciate the well-rounded perspective you shared.

Have been exploring other options as well.
