$5,000 and I will clean up your problem...I accept gold coins as payment....think about it...Just kidding!

A piece of advice to those of you who live in expensive parts of the country/world and have your eyes on the midwest and southeast United States to get into cashflow investing...As an active BPer, BRRRR investor, and an agent who works with investors in Cincinnati, I get a boatload of messages from BP members who are looking in markets like mine for great deals (at least 20% below market, great cashflow, not a lot of rehab, etc.).

put your self out there and do not fear rejection you will deal with that a lot in this business mine as well get used to it. 

I just wired mine to power without a switch so it is fully automated.

Establish a relationship with them and they will be a great asset in your search.The mailman tip is solid gold, Douglas.

Satin nickel has been the way to go though black and gold are creeping their way in.
