How would you guys go about this for someone extremely motivated to succeed, with no track record or portfolio.

This time it was discovered by our faithful and reliable title company who always does an extremely thorough job.

(ex: things I should've checked etc.)A part of me thinks that I am just overreacting and getting cold feet and need to just bite the bullet and give it a go.

@Todd Powell, I was extremely critical and as thorough as I could be with background/credit/google and social media with her.  

I do a mix of cold calling and letters and I get a better response/ close rate with cold calling.

When reviewing Toledo properties you will discover that the Toledo market is different from all others, not to mention, extremely low purchase prices on fixer uppers as compared to their retail value, Toledo is full of promises.

If the house was in a hot area, 2 beds, might be OK for a homeowner, but the fact that the house is in such bad shape tells me you're not in that kind of neighborhood.So, you're exit strategy is probably fixing this to rent, which means it won't be  using extreme high end finishes and that will save you some money for materials.

We would have MAYBE broke even, and we would've gave up an extremely valuable asset.

Looking forward to the journey as today is the first day we started cold calling!

@Tom Casey Keough and Moody have been extremely helpful when I’ve needed them here in Edgewater.
