Hi Aqsa,I'm bias but then again, I've owned real estate all over and haven't found a better market for sub $100,000 than Toledo.Low entry price pointHigh cashflowEmployed tenants that pay rent onlineDecent areas with well kept homesNot much appreciation so IMO it's a strict cashflow play.If you find and buy off-market you can snag some great deals for sub $60,000 purchase and rehab.Quality of workmanship is the downside and so is motivation of other folks needed to make investing from out of state work.So beware.These are the downsides bit like with any market, you will always have pro's and con's.All the best 👍

These lenders may have more relaxed requirements regarding the ownership structure (LLC vs. personal names).Seller Financing: If the seller is motivated or willing, you could negotiate seller financing where the seller acts as the lender.

The first day of the seminar was motivational speaking, telling ppl how to become rich with this deal (still not mentioning anything about buying left overs or OTC deeds)  Every presenter gave same little speech, of course they all said "You don't need money" and keep pushing their lender, which is pretty much themselves with a different name asking for 3% interest a month...
