@Paul Washington Below are the meets ups I typically go to.IMPACT Grapevine - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Network-Investing-Meetup/- Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets on the 4th Monday of each month.

A lot of tired or retiring landlords don't want to pay 3% to a Realtor plus Capital Gains.

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

Hey, if you get married you'll be able to shield an extra $250k in capital gains!!

It's a different business model than the typical broker-investor relationship.

Typically corporate/bank owned homes are managed by an asset management company.

I typically make my initial offer at 75% of my MAO.

It's hard enough to find food management much less good builders from a distance.I've heard good things about Columbus, but I'm just getting my feet wet and gaining some familiarity with Cleveland market.

Then, I typically see them take about a half to a third of that number for the adjustment factor.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
