We could set up a meeting at one of my real estate office conference rooms - Hollywood district (3636 NE Broadway), Clackamas just off 205/Sunnyside, or Lake Oswego area (5000 Meadows Rd) work for me.

Remember also that there are a lot of expenses associated with buying and selling, so if the margin is thin, a lot of it can get eaten up in the transaction costs..Consider getting in touch with some local wholesalers to bring you some off-market flips if that makes sens for the discount from the MLS and lack of competition..

Adam Craig,Based on my experience in NE Ohio, if there is nothing wrong behind the walls or under the basement floor (sewer), will be less than $500 depending on the plumber.

I am investing in IA for now and probably NE later (I live right on the border).

I'm a real estate agent in Iowa and Nebraska and I've been working with more and more out of state investors on investment properties.

Hello All,So my wife and I have owned a duplex on the NE side of Grand Rapids for the last 7 years and have never had a problem finding tenants.

The duplexes that are on the market that look like the style we want are WELL over $1MThis is $1.3M kind of in the area I am looking in: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2834-NE-Killing...I don't know how feasible it is because I don't know if builders can tear down everything except for one wall and build a modern home.

Depending on the market you are looking to get into, there may ne some great turnkey options however I have seen much better results from buying Single family homes not marketed as STR and then setting then up.

If I was going to invest in DC I agree with NE. 

The Trinidad neighborhood in NE may be over-priced and gentrifying but in no way is it a safer or higher-class neighborhood than Hillcrest, mentioned in @russellBrazil’s note.
