So anything can be expected to happen since it is an event open to the general public.

The pros: it's within about 6 miles of downtown, right on Frick Park, literally just outside the city limits - so 1% wage tax v. 3% for renters, close to hospitals, universities, public transportation and commuting arteries, plus safe/low crime.

Our process is fairly straight forward: contact is made, we chat, we send them an app and get the information we need for background & criminal checks, we then meet them in person at a public place...unless it's a current renter referral and we might meet them at the house their friend is renting....if the meeting goes well and the person checks out, we then show them some property.

Toledo has good areas, bad areas, affluent neighborhoods, excellent suburbs...some good scools (washington local for example are where many invest successfully), and Toledo Public which you dont want to brag about.I however would invest no where else...I would love to see you beat my purchase prices and returns. ($15k purchased/renovated to HUD Sect 8 standards, $8,400/yr rent GUARANTEED BY HUD) I own exclusively in 43612 (OK) and 43608 (low income, higher crime, black...and I will have a dozen SFH Sect 8 rentals there in the next quarter).

For rentals I buy the stove and fridge through the Pennysaver (a weekly publication where I am located).

So I am looking at a 4/2 in a rural area (public record actually shows it as a 5/3), that is a HUD home as well.

Thanks Ryan,Not sure if it was converted or not, however it is listed as a 3 family on the public record.

My thought is if you really don't know these people, the last thing you want to do is educate someone who lacks character and then unleash them on the public..

Buy one on a highway in the way of growth or redevelopment and enjoy a 10 cap while waiting for a developer to take you out at a health multiple to what you paid.

They stick with publicly-traded assets that are vetted once, sold millions of times and valued by the markets.I am trying to clarify what you mean by trying to "get the $20K from a Self-Directed IRA".
