bottom line: pick what you think if best for where you are at on your real estate investment journey.

@Alex Bekeza hi awesome, I’m currently looking to purchase my next investment property then after work on my first flip, if you have to to discuss via email or txt that would be amazing I would love to pick your Brain :)

I obviously can't pick and choose what score to accept due to the Land Lord tenant act laws.

You need to place a value on these repairs and then pick your battles. 

I just closed on a duplex in Dayton for $189K $1100 a door and have an investor closing on a 4 unit for $325K in Indy with great rents that cash flow over $1000 a month.I have seen Indiana, & Ohio pick up some major heat over the last 3 years for investors while Boise falls somewhat short.

I seriously am not just making a post to crap on Lawton, and my experience was over a decade ago, but I just picked up a client from Oklahoma today that said: "Yikes, sorry you got Fort Sill, Lawton is the armpit of this state."

my ex tenant was picked up for smoking pot - I wasn’t held liable for that. 

The joke used to be that you needed to wait only long enough to put one pen down and pick up the other pen.A refinance is not a taxable event. 

Picking 1 area and sticking with it can go a long way.
