I have a friend there that was shopping for a house.

A lot of landlords recommend buying new for ease and the warranty, but I have had good success shopping Craigslist and FB Marketplace for used appliances, especially after big sale weekends (Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday, etc.).

.- Open a checking account for LLC- Fund checking account with money for purchase, closing costs, repairs- Final signatures on Purchase Agreement- Shop for a loan.  

I did a lot of comparison shopping, watching YouTube videos etc before narrowing it down to the above choices.

When I am not working, I am typically listening to BP podcasts, audiobooks, talking shop, or possibly relaxing with friends playing a board game. 

I am always down to talk shop about Cleveland here on the forums.

Now have a resale shop in the back 3000sf and a Game Room in the front 3500 sf.  

@Scott Passman I would first settle on a market, then spend some time visiting the market, attending local REIA there, window shopping on TK or wholesale deals in the market, so you start to become more comfortable with what is out there and what you are willing to settle for. 

Game plan is sometime on Saturday maybe shoot for beers, or soda if drinking isn't your thing, and just talk shop for a bit. 

You can also get way better deals from regular seller on Craigslist or OfferUp/Facebook...But a shop with warranty is little less risky if you aren't personally inspecting the unit.
