I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return.

You can still find solid investment properties at reasonable prices, which can lead to strong cash flow.Diverse neighborhoods: Cleveland has a wide variety of neighborhoods, each with its own character and investment potential.

.- Managing Multiple Projects Simultaneously: Handling numerous properties at different renovation stages requires effective project tracking, milestone-based contractor payments, and solid contingency plans to navigate potential delays.- Technology & Automation: Utilizing project management software, such as Buildertrend or Monday.com, enables real-time tracking of budgets, schedules, and contractor communications.

In that case, you’re living for $2,000 a month—while building equity in the home, benefiting from potential appreciation, and taking advantage of valuable tax write-offs!

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

@Tim Delaney is an investor in the Buffalo market and shares many of your views on its long term potential!

I ask because we only buy houses around the southern US (TX,OK,AR,TN) but we're curious to know if more opportunities to buy foreclosures could potentially exist in other markets. 

They don't care when you try to explain all the future projects, they actually hate hearing that since it sounds like a scam, when an investor says, "Give me a good price and I will have a lot of work for you" it sends chills up their spines. 

I've never heard money/profit described as cute, so it's not important.The most important thing you mentioned, was the rent potential and ARV. 

Regulations & Compliance: What's the best way to research local STR laws and avoid potential regulatory issues?
