For me personally, I prefer to work at the upper end of the spectrum (as opposed to the lower end).

speaking of..3) mid to higher end properties since (as has been mentioned frequently in the podcasts) the lower you go on the spectrum, the more management it will take. 

Eastward portion of Cleveland offers a rich and expansive set of suburban settings, spanning your spectrum, the chain of communities you can define on the eastern portion of the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area, gives you a significant point of presence.

ya, i was kidding...the point is, it's difficult to compare 30/50k/unit apt buildings to 10k houses, as they're most certainly different areas...not only that, but the buildings that are being bought at the higher end of that 30-50k spectrum will not cashflow

In my personal experience, I've used contractors at both ends of the spectrum in terms of the quality of quotes they've provided.  

Educational Systems that have a clear learning path of instruction (curriculum per-say) and cover, without bias or prejudice, a variety of aspects within the Industry should be embraced and not bashed as I have seen in forums across the spectrum IMHO.Webinars, Forums, Books, Podcasts and Spreadsheets all have their place in the knowledge arena, as when you stop looking for knowledge you are pretty much done, yet I do question the timing of each in an individual’s learning curve.Now I know there are individuals that don't believe Real Estate can be a risky business, and I tend to strongly disagree with those individuals, but in the end...the more you know, the more you allow yourself to grow and the more tools you have available to you when the time is right...the better off you will be in anything in the long run, not just Real Estate.

Like I said, I'm fairly new at bird dogging for people at this end of the spectrum - my bread and butter is multifamily properties between 2-4 units and SFRs, so the rules of engagement are totally different.

Keep up the good work and have great day.Hi Arthur,Thanks for your kind words.They keep pumping it because it is true over the broad market spectrum although there are numerous pockets in every city that are very desirable.

You are asking about the entire broad spectrum of rehab/new build opportunities, so pick a neighborhood and one of the 3-4 things are going on in there for sure.Condo conversions...  

Great topic @Ben Leybovich I am glad I am able to be a fly on the wall to listen in on a full spectrum of opinions.
