So you are correct in many locations now is an awful time to buy real estate.

Out of these seven companies, six of them have positive profit changes following the year prior - this signifies growth.

Also Becca one thing that I found very interesting in Bay Area is I found the house layout and geographical location is more important than the location is.

Where is the single family property located, how much equity do you have built into it, etc.? 

I did a quick review of Furnished Finer in Midvale, UT and it looks like your price estimate is about in line with the market but there is of course a bit of range depending on exact location/level of furnishing, amenities, etc.

I don't recommend the Midwest unless you do Class A or B, which will not positive cash flow with long term rentals (maybe MTR or STR depending on location) at current 7% interest rates.

I am trying to locate properties in a area out of state I am familiar with.

I live in California but my primary investment location currently is Cleveland, although I’m looking at other locations as well. 

Question, do you usually hire an inspector prior to creating a scope of work?

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.
