If i had perfect credit I wouldnt be looking to rent and waste my hard earned income paying someone elses mortgage.

Consider waste treatment: are you running sewer lines?

But take a step back and take a look at how you will actually accomplish the task.You would typically be better off financing and renovating 1 house at a time to minimize holding costs (financing, taxes, etc).

@Felix GoldsteinI invite you to talk to vena Cox Jones in Cincinnati who runs the REIAI want you and every other Ohio real estate investor to understand the law and understand what the regulators want to seeLicensed agents and brokers don't like wholesalers because of the stories that they hear re the time that's wasted; with credit being tired, average person can't get a mortgage is easily, and there aren't a lot of institutional buyers right now like BlackstoneCredit is very tight right now and many agents and brokers are not making a lot of money and they have more time on their hands to complain about wholesalers to OH regulatorsI think in Ohio having so many great "rent to value ratios" compared to other parts of the country, what I mean by "rent to value" is say you have $100,000 house that rents for 1200, that's a great yieldOhio is not alone, Florida and California are mandating licensing to hold people are talking to homesellers about selling their house, to at least receive a certain level of real estate education, training, at least knowing the local and state lawsSelling your house is not like selling a car.  

Cash flow, if any, will be rather minimal (paricularly compared to what is available in other markets).You can find exceptions (war zones, multi-family, etc.), but in general, you're just going to find inferior numbers/ratios to what other areas offer.

Spending all that money on gfi's will just be a waste of your money.

Trying one at a time for several months each can end up wasting a lot of your time.

Don't waste your time and effort fighting it.

I pay a couple hundred more from my trusted installer in Florida but I have piece of mind that it was done right the first time, I should have minimal expenses for the first 10 years, and added value with increased longevity with a well maintained HVAC system.

Window units seem to be just as efficient anyway in my experience; It's the resistance heat that can get expensive but they do make window units now that operate in reverse cycle and there's also 2 ton ductless systems on ebay for about $950 that'd require minimal time to install.
