I think it is better to invest in a larger markets where you have the ability to bounce around the suburbs and what not. 

It seems to me starting small and trading up will take a lot longer than saving up for one big deal.I apologize for the long post but these questions have been bouncing around my head for weeks and I was hoping posting on here would give me some advice or guidance on how to proceed.

THEY CLAIMN THEY DON'T LOOK IN TOCREDIT THEY GOVE EVERYONE A CHANCE, IT'S A SCAM I'M TELLING YOU I PROMISE YOU THAT IF YOU SEND THAT MONEY THEY MIGHT SEND A CHECK NOW FED EX BUT IT BOUNCES THAT IS THE NEWEST ONE!

bend bounced back strong..

If we had to exit today we could comfortably reduce the price and make good money, later on it will be even larger, so more room for BRRRR'ingDon't worry, my first deal missed the market bottom and I had to eat crow on that house while I waited for the market to bounce a few years later.

We are also hoping to network with other investors (talk shop, bounce ideas off of, etc.), find partners and deals.

I started as electrician, then a plumber, and started my plumbing business in 2006, needless to say it wasn't long before we were all out of business, but I bounced back and am now a GC.

You are going off pure 100% speculation with a HOPE that East Cleveland bounces back if it ever does.

I appreciate the welcome and as "newbies" hopefully we can bounce ideas off each other!

I got started by bouncing around primary residences for a few years but never selling any of them.
