I am here to learn as much as possible so I am not wasting peoples time or more importantly their money!

It is very important that the Wrap Mortgage is written at market terms using a knowledgeable attorney, an RMLO, and a servicing entity.These have risk and I'm not saying a new investor should go out and do them. 

More important than identifying target areas is establishing relationship with a local investor-friendly professional who has personal experience in investing in Cleveland.

And the most important thing LOCATION,LOCATION , LOCATION . 

Education is very important, so I’m taking a self taught course to get my permit tech certificate.

I think this really comes down to many investors not even knowing this is important until they learn the hard way.

SOLD comps vs ACTIVE is very important.

@Bonnie Low - it's important to know what services you're paying for.

It's important to ask yourself, and be honest with yourself, how you would handle managing tenant situations if you were to become a landlord.

More importantly, one of our investors has invested in a bunch of them and recently raised an issue that I was unaware of until recently.
