Hi @Dana Black,It sounds like you've already made up your mind that you want your second deal however having a hard time trying to figure out which move to make. 

Get this person out of your way, fix the problem with the unit and get it back to income and peace of mind. 

I know your in a different state but is there anyway you can mentor me if you don’t mind

Keep in mind that rentals also bring tax avoidance strategies while flipping a house can mean taxing that as income. 

Inquiring minds want to know!

It's just on my mind. 

What I had in mind was buying an apartment complex of over 500k, putting the 200k as 20-25% down payment so I could get a higher price/quality deal.

HI, @Elaine Lai, I'm a contractor mainly on the east side, @james wise, name comes to mind for a realtor on the west side, you can also do a member search for Cleveland, and find other Agents, and Contractors, here is also a link to the Cuyahoga County Forclosure Sales: https://sheriff.cuyahogacounty.us/en-us/foreclosure-sales.aspx   Welcome back, and Good luck! 

Keep in mind in my case I have an 800 credit score, two rentals, and a primary home if that changes anything from the banks point of view.

You gave notice to move out, then changed your mind.
