@Michael EalyYou bought that in 2011.I know I could post multiple similar wins for you that I had in Florida in 2011.But I won’t bore you.You live in Cincinnati.I live in Jacksonville and bought my Cleveland buildings in the past 18 months.Read my blog again and then read @Jay Hinrichs comments above.We are trying to inform newbies and out of state investors, not savvy locals like you.The post is not to say it’s absolutely impossible to make money in Cleveland.It just points out blind spots that’s often papered over by local stakeholders who sell Cleveland and cheap Midwest homes to uncanny out of town investors.Information doesn’t hurt.Especially if it’s open and balanced like in this forum where it’s free to hear both sides of the story.I hope you get the difference.

It's an easy win for your agent because, your saying "Sure we will do these items but you have to prove you are committed to buying".

So when this woman moves out, and you try to hit her with charges, you will win in court even though she has proof you refused to uphold your side of the contract?

The catch 22 for me is not knowing whether to do this and pay the higher interest rate for a "just in case" scenario... aka winning bid on an auction property, super quick close..... or go the more traditional route, less risk, lower interest rate.

I've never gone through the process, but I've heard it's tough to win as a landlord as Oregon judges don't typically want to kick someone out on the streets with no notice.

We created a win, win, win.

Many investors and their money partners feel it's a win/win in the 8-10% range ("beats the market, secured by a hard asset"). 

Sometimes it's just deadbeats grasping at straws thinking that it will win them their eviction case. 

If they're willing to move out early, that's a win-win.
