If this is the case, not a bad idea for you as it will be a good learning experience.

Various repair issues, bad tenant, and now this issue.

I've been trying not to reply to so many posts about this, but also need to watch out for rookies to save them from losses.The other thing I don't like is that so many folks interested in this usually have very little extra capital and could lose some or all of their "extra" capital on a bad wholesale deal if they made one mistake. 

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

I am sure there are good and bad locations in Boston. 

At times, the seller may back out, we may uncover bad things about the property during the due diligence period which will cause us to back out of the deal, or financing may fall through.What makes it even worse, we, as investors, may incur some soft costs (costs incurred prior to closing) which end up being sunk costs.However, as investors, we are relentless in our pursuit of cash-flow.

As per chatGPT, closing costs in Ohio are usually 2% - 5% of the price, so maximum: $6950.I'm open to working with lenders of any kind to make this happen.Hate to be the bearer of bad news but no lender will touch this as an investment. you will need to come up with 25% down plus closing costs. 

Hello, I have a primary residence and about $10k in bad debt (not including car note, student loans and a small medical bill).

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Luke H.I would be very skeptical of appraisal at $250k and buying it for $120k.On paper yes seems like not a bad deal but I wouldn’t do it because it’s five year term.

It is my belief your current situation is not a bad position (it is a goid position that will improve with time).
