Im beginning to gear our investments to areas close to the major roadways, public transportation, and attractions.

Hey Kenneth, I just closed on my house less than a month ago and I used a company called Nerd Wallet.

It's said that Toledo appears to be one of the most attractive markets in the country for investors looking to buy single family homes.

Newer homes (on expensive land) may have less than 50% expenses, but because they're also likely to have a lower Rental Return Ratio, they may still be difficult to show positive cash flow, if 75% leveraged.Whereas cheaper/older homes in non-appreciating markets, or condos/apartments in high property tax/HOA areas, can have a HIGHER than 50% expenses per month, but may still cash flow positively because of a super-attractive Rent Return Ratio.Somewhere in the "middle" of those extremes, the 50% Rule can be quite accurate!

I'd also think that getting your HOA to propose a deal would be more attractive than just one individual unit.

I was the backup offer, the seller gave up on missed contingency deadlines with the first buyer, and we managed to attract his attention by switching our offer from $375k financed to $370k cash.I have asked two commercial lenders about securing financing right after we close, and they both give me a straight-faced "I don't know".

It is as accessible as the credit cards already in your wallet.

It is usually not a very attractive risk-reward proposition as the odds are normally stacked against you IMO.

I want to attract buyers online.Currently, I am observing the real estate business at my friend's office.

and people can smell your fat wallet coming from a mile away.
