Is anyone out there willing to be boots on the ground in Cleveland particularly old Brooklyn to check out the condition of a property?

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

The agent works "for free" until the house sells, so taking them out of the deal is theft, and immoral."

It seems like you have it all lined out already, timeline and all.

This step by step process is all laid out in Scott Trench's book "Set for Life".

this is helpful.

I should have clarified that what I meant was that there are PMs out there that will do the most expedient thing and accept a tenant just to receive a quick commission.  

I would appreciate any tips or experience with any creative financing options!

This could be an opportunity to share what you've learned.

But I am wondering if there is any good Keywords for Zillow, or any websites where something like this may stand out more or any tips someone may have for finding these type of properties in CO.Thanks!
