@Mike EvatzHi Mike - I originally grew up on the south side of Youngstown, so Canfield is like the beautiful suburbs as far as I'm concerned ;) I agree with you long term views for the area, I got out as soon as I could at 21, as I felt that the area itself is in a steady state of decay.

You've made some incredible progress the last <1 year.

That is a large and direct impediment to using exports to drive the kind of growth numbers that Greece would need to make substantial progress.

I was told to keep fannie mae in the loop and have a letter from the contractor on the progress of the project.  

I am making progress but certainly feeling a bit overwhelmed.  

I'm looking for investments that will give me a handsome and steady return.  

On the forum Investor Deal Diaries I did a post 'READ THIS BEFORE POSTING' to explain what that forum is for, (ongoing projects, rehabs, new construction, that will be ongoing, where they can post progress, pics, etc. during the time it's being rehabbed/built) and people still post things on everything conceivable there. 

Having an eviction attorney or several eviction attorneys refer you to their clients is a good pipeline because you will get a steady stream of leads from them.

You should be able to make quick progress depending on your financial situation. 

Managing a few more multi-families will be less of a time-suck than rehabbing, and set you up for a steady stream of income that you can live off of or save for future investments.
