Go to a few auctions yourself, and get familiar with the process, players, and what property is generally selling for.

If it is a retirement account, hopefully it's not in CD's or a money market for your sake. 

We have changed our investment strategies over the years and moved from C/D areas to A/B areas.

;) Unfortunately, there was no clear documentation nor communication of BASICS of what to have ready, what to possibly expect, and when/how all the players interact on a close to ensure a smooth transaction.

To have someone give you helpful advice on where to invest, youll most likely have to provide some more information like what your goals are, are you looking tor a A/B/C/D type property, how much money you are looking to allocate to the buy and rehab, etc. 

It's definitely a class C/D area but has potential.

With that being said, I've heard a few players being able to discover a gem under a rock.

West Blvd looks like it's a safer neighbor than East Cleveland C-D, what's your thoughts?

And there is about another third that have smaller mortgages on their property of less than 50% LTV; sometimes as small as 10% LTV.With bond and CD rates so low there are a lot of people sitting on cash that are looking for places to put that cash.

I wonder what would happen to sports if you took the top players salaries and gave them to the water boys?????.
