I am actively researching markets like Cleveland and Columbus, but I remain very open to other opportunities.My goals are to successfully fund and execute a BRRRR project, build a team of veteran investors and mentors, and continue learning to attain financial freedom through real estate.Excited to connect with seasoned investors and mentors.

Generally speaking, as crime rates trend down, the demand ratio often trends upward, but it is not a given. 

what should be a reason to choose 1 market over the other how to identify a market to buy?

4 units are great because they give you the option to rent some units out while you're working on fixing the other ones up and there is a lot of rental demand in Cleveland and surrounding neighborhoods right now, so it's a great time to get in the market!  

It's still only 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and I am in the hole about 140k and fair market value is about $145K-50K. 

Adding additional assets, a familiar market, buying a house "for free" as I call it, and gaining experience with lower level of risk How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I offer this exact deal in my markets. 

When buying a Real Estate consider property tax new cost specially in today's Market.

The interest rates are what they are but the down payment is the kicker for easier entry into that market. 

The rates below are avg for my market.
