I also agree that Akron is a viable area as well, but Im still finding the best deals in and around Cleveland.

And there are a plethora of mls deals.

We do have a few deals under our belt up in Michigan and looking forward to our new adventure in Alabama.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

Purchase price: $161,000 Renovating now What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Many OOS investors pick one market to master before expanding.Spending the next few months learning and analyzing deals is a great plan!

Incredibly poor business deal. 

There are still some deals out there.
