That said, it's nearly impossible to find a decent option under $300k in those locations.If you have an apetite for rolling the dice and saying "I'm so glad I bought this ten years ago!"

Quote from @Aj Green: Hey,(Posting again as I sign today so it is urgent)Is there any cheaper lender than a 6.75% for an Ohio investment property.No brokers fees, 110k, no points, 760+ credit score, 20% down, 140k value, no realtors, single family, rent covers mortgage, 30 year term fixed.Thanks for the help!

As a broward county investor, I'm not exactly expecting a boom in prices over the next 3-5 years. 

No monthly fees, just a flat rate per year, per transaction.

Or like many small in businesses you raise cash from friends family and anyone else that knows loves and trusts you.The other thing I suggest is to make that $27,000 or $37000, or $50000 yourself over the next year. 

A detailed before-and-after P&L comparison would be useful here to show accuracy and weaknesses.I have a relatively sophisticated rehab spreadsheet I’ve been enhancing for years, and I know it’s reasonably accurate.

I have been investing for 20 plus years and have found a number of good connections at local meetups and here on the BP forums.

Then my current primary home will be rented out to balance the cash flow of this purchase for the next year or so.

Positive cash flow for years.
