It's my family's first rental property.

Can someone guide me or direct me how can I buy a REO property ?

Lots of good investment opportunities for Section properties in the Cleveland market. 

Any recommendation on hot spot location to search for properties for fix and flips??

They've mentioned they have asthma and allergies and that's why they're upset about have to live in a place that's being repaired, so I've offered to both hold off on the repairs and reduce rent to make up for the condition of the property, I've offered to have a contractor just rough in the drywall so that the studs aren't visible and to encapsulate everything, even though everything in the cavity was removed during the remediation, but they now aren't responding to my texts whatsoever.

I'm not sure the house would make a good rental property anyways as rent estimate is below 1% of value.

Building a solid team is a smart priority, as real estate investing is much more efficient when you have a trusted group of professionals→ agents, contractors, lenders, who understand your goals and the local market.Your plan to own four long-term rentals in the next four years is both realistic and attainable, especially with the type of property you're targeting.

Needed a place so we bought this property, updated it, then moved out after 2 years.

What strategies do you use to build strong relationships with private money lenders, and how have these connections influenced your investment success?

I recently bought a $1,250,000 property and only had to put down 5%.
