I have heard that manchester is developing into a pretty nice street, and I was looking at a couple properties off of Bennett Ave, but wasn't sure if that was too far removed.I also heard that south of winchester might be a contender, and i found a place on dayton ave that looked decent, but again my real estate agent said this was a bad area.Thanks for all of the info!

I still contend with some short sighted thinking from people who can't 'wrap their heads' around what we are doing.  

There are things like neighborhood price ceilings, lot values, etc. that you have to contend with when you're looking at non-model-match homes.

I recommend trying to visit your top one or two contenders to see their work, meet the people, tour the town, have lunch, and get a feel for them as people.

I am in a niche market that has much higher rent prices than counties surrounding so I have considered the brrrr strategy as the most serious contender for return with the experience I have. 

do you want to scrape, partner w a developer and redevelop in 5 yrs, maximizing usage (my fav) to contend w a steady supply of uni tenants.

I agree with @Austin Fruechting when it comes to analyzing a lot of individual properties I want to be able to weed out the obvious non contenders.  

I contend "finders" are not illegal in Ohio.

(Lots of important details in this step.)Sellers contact us back and we line up all the contenders and pass the info to our buyers.

Considering the scrutiny, fallacy “good lucks”, and mild support, there were those who truly knew I could be a contender in this industry.
