@Helen De la rosaWhat are your investment objectives?

Cleveland is a great area if your primary objective is to cash flow.

In TN if they do not attend this inspection their rights to object to the condition of the property is pretty much non-existent. 

I know many buyers will go with the flow and not object, but I'm especially curious about the experienced investors and people who aren't afraid to rock the boat to save some money.

residential landlords require that tenants not operate a commercial activity in the residence, but it all boils down to your objectives and goals. 

If you can be objective you will find loan programs from lenders that make sense for you and make sense for the lender.

How is anyone supposed to answer that objectively?

This boost in purchasing power allows you to acquire more valuable properties, which can further your investment objectives.5.

However, if you can weather the storm for a while, Danville, San Ramon, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore all offer amazing appreciation, tax benefits, and principle pay-down opportunities. 

This business is heavily based on relationships, so in most cases, the referral you get will be highly biased by the relationship between the realtor/lender and not necessarily what's most objectively reasonable.
