We negotiated with the seller and eventually came to an agreement on a price and also worked into the deal that he was going to sell the property to me vacant.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

How did you finance this deal?

Than one has to get familiar with the market one is targeting, I get with various government board members and engineers to find receptiveness of such project and if city plan already has a designated area of interest for such, which it often does.

The aspect of flips outside of the tax code is getting the deal, finding capital is easy with partners etc...

Hi Everyone,My wife and I are looking to buy our first MFH in the Cleveland area, and I’m interested in knowing if anyone has had to deal with squatters on their properties.

This would require a much smaller downpayment & interest would not be nearly as big of a deal for these small single-family homes. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You will need a realtor to help you deal with negotiations, home inspection etc.

However, I will say, I would much rather deal with the legal ramifications of giving them their money back and asking them to rent somewhere else, rather than deal with the legal ramifications of an eviction.
