We specialize in auction properties all over Ohio but specifically in cuyahoga county.

What I decided to do was work in what I was interested in and it led me to be an experienced real estate agent specializing in wholesaling off market properties in PA region specifically Philadelphia and surrounding areas such as Montgo, Delco etc.

There are often local Facebook groups for specific strategies 

@Jemini LeckieIf investing locally is not in the cards I would do some research and pin point a market that fits what you are looking for and then reach out in the forums for that specific market and ask more detailed questions.

Of course your specific return requirements will vary, so figure out what the numbers are for your market, analyze them to determine margins and decide if that is an appropriate return for the risk you are taking.

Taxpayers should be aware of the criteria for this specific scenario.

That is illegal unless you have specific licenses. 

Without know more specifics, I'd suggest selling what you have now and investing in properties closer to where you live (and pursue 1031 exchanges).

When you re-list the property, it will restart the counter for "days listed" (assuming it is down for a reasonable period of time, I'm not sure their exact specification, I know we've been down for 24-48 hours and it did not restart).

Other sites that can be successful included Facebook (specific groups you are targeting like traveling nurses or 5th ward housing, etc), Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays) and insurance placements like ALE Solutions.
