Take into consideration that that Cleveland is one of the poorer areas in the country, a $100mo difference can be huge.

Keeping myself informed and fingers crossed, as that feels like about all I can do at this point in time.   

I know they went to Dubai, Turkey, and Ireland, if not more countries.

Or you can even cross collatorize the properties to purchase other properties.

I didn't see a lot of the cross-portfolio-performance I'm looking for. 

Title companies really had to take a ton of risk since Wayne county was the most dysfunctional county in the entire country at the time..

It's crazy to me that someone would buy a property halfway across the country from a man who appears to have lied and contradicted himself over his entire real estate sales career. 

I lend all across the country and may be able to help find you clients for your deals.

That market is recovering, but with covid still taking a stranglehold on the Country and tourism, you need to have the numbers work as a long term rental also.

Something else to consider is that once these properties are paid off, you could cross collateralize to purchase additional properties that fit your buy box so that you may not need to bring cash to the table for a down payment.
