Narrowing down the options will probably come down to comps and city/neighborhood specifics; things like permits.Any good suggestions for finding out how long permits are taking in certain areas?

You may make $50k on a flip but have to wait 6 months from list. ( in specific areas - not all of CLE)As a full time investor turn time is hyper important for me to turn my properties and money over as many times as possible in a year.Another example is are you a flipper or a renter.

I think it will add more competition to the rental market and the buyer market specifically up in N Phoenix, Deer Valley, Desert Ridge, and then up into Anthem - but will bring up value throughout the county. 

It seemed like most the folks you have on staff are CPA or other, but no specific legal experts.

If you have any specific questions, I am here to assist.

So, you go over budget FAST.So, your Scope of Work (SOW) MUST be very specific as Mr Perez learned when contractor didn't put in new outlets.To "perfect" your SOW, suggest you walk the property with 3 contractors and ask them what needs to be done.

On a positive note we did build a new house to the specifications of a specific tenant. 

3) how did you decide on the specific city you chose to invest in?

@Kevin Waymire I have bought and sold 5,300 units.What specifically are you wanting to know?

Scaling-  your question is both country and even town specific.
