All of these were homes in the Inland Empire, built between 1990 to 2000, or later, so very little deferred maintenance. 

Evening,I am getting my feet wet (or should I say dusty) in land wholesaling lot flipping. 

What was relevant from that was the seller had tried to build an ambitious leveraged empire like many BPs recommend, but had ended up completely underwater and unable to service his debt, thus the short sale.

But what we know from a ton of experience and empirical data....any 15 CAP in Ohio will end up being 100% fake right after that first trashy tenant destroys your building and causes $8K in repairs which wipes out 2 years of your "15 CAP" ROI.

I definitely think it's ok to not want to 10x every aspect of your life to build an enormous empire @Michaela G.   

It can be a place for your desk where you can run your burgeoning business empire from, or just a place for a love seat and a coffee table for peaceful afternoons with a good book.Whatever it is, dog damage and cat damage need to be handled on the turn, as well as remediating the backyard of dog waste if the renter failed to do so.Good Luck!

@Jesse Littrell I’m a civil engineer in Houston and I specialize in land development.

I'm willing to go inland to Palatka, but that's about it.

Ready to grow my Real Estate (RE) empire, connect with fellow investors, and discover what Indiana has to offer! 

Im a super motivated whole seller fairly new but always finding good deals in the San Diego to inland empire markets.
