Hi Jeff,I currently invest in Lancaster but due to super low inventory, Reading definitely looks like a viable option.

The test I would use (if I were inclined to consider turnkey) would be to ask that I be put in touch with a former/current client who made money over some meaningful period of time using the system and was willing to be transparent om sharing the numbers with me. 

Currently on the lookout for reputable wholesalers specializing in single-family homes within the Cleveland, Ohio market.

This may be an expense the current owner cannot afford.The auction company charges a Buyer's Premium (typically 10% of the high bid) and it is paid by the buyer.

Is it really possible with current prices and mortgage rates?

On my primary property, I have a second home that I’ve had as a long term rental and currently have as a short term rental.

Is the property currently in a trust? 

I do have a relationship with a few Realtors and that is how I am currently pulling comps.

Current owners are still living there and need to stay for 30 days after closing.

Of course they can get a higher sale price if they are willing to take on someone who cannot get a loan, or are offering better terms than current loan options.
