Any recommendations on areas to avoid or be careful given high crime rates around Downtown and East Cleveland?

Quote from @Catherine Ding: My PM company is offering to do it for a high fee of $100/month so I'm trying to find alternative options.

You will not need to join CAR/NAR and I offer super high fee splits. 

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

And the laws and regulations here are very different, not very strict like the states.Prices are high and rents are low over here.

I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project?

If it is a high end housing product you may have to use a designer because they have access to some material/finish suppliers that are otherwise unavailable but that tends to only be for the highest end housing deliveries.

So if conventional primary residence rates are that high, par rates on investment properties are generally higher. 

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.
