Quote from @Evan Thomas Andriola: Cleveland investors,What are your thoughts on investing in a property that is currently vacant? 

As a Florida Real Estate Attorney and Investor, I have seen investors do their best networking with local groups.

All the best to you during your last semester.Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.Abel

I could use some help from investors in IL... how do you set up a sub to there??

I'm amazed at how giving this community of investors is and they'll give you a contact in a heartbeat

I work with a few investors in the SE Florida area as I am physically located here as well.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Ed Daniels: @Noah Kellar tough to advise without a photo, but I think the consideration about how it would turn out to repair and paint, remove siding to paint wood, or re-side is easy to me as an investor... whatever looks the best for minimum cost.  

This is a hard one for people to work with since a lot of investors that do not have a lot of experience do not want to get a deal, not know the full rehab, and fear that they will lose the deal/EMD. 

Quote from @Allen Zhu: Is hard money lender worth it for first time investors?

OKC and Birmingham markets both offer some great opportunities and good entry prices for new investors.
