Lenders do not look at your personal income or debt and will use the current market rent or lease (up to 120% if the lease is significantly higher than market rent or vice versa) as qualifying income.

There aren't any good wholesalers in the Cleveland market.

Cincy and Dayton are great markets.

Chicago, with its vibrant neighborhoods and strong rental market, is a prime location for this strategy.

I am now looking to enter the Chicago market, I have heard good things about that market.

It sounds like a single family house where you will be living in the house(personal use).Therefore, you may not be getting the tax benefits you think you are.Consult an accountant.I am not sure why your sister would agree to this as well, she is losing $170,000 in this transaction and she faces the possibility of you increasing her rent.You also have to charge market rent or close to market rent or it is all deemed personal use.

@Joe Frank I’m a huge fan of Turbo Tenant to market properties, manage leads, screen tenants and lease up.

I know this is also a National issue, especially in land constricted markets.

One unit was rehabbed with $15,000 and a new leaseadded at market rent.

I don't do any marketing. 2.
