Cleveland's strong rental market driven by a growing population makes it a great starting point ensuring a steady income stream.

I've always thought investing via HELOCs were risky, and now only more so as the rates are typically adjustable and would not be very high. 

I had high hopes because its seems so much easier to do this real estate investment with a PROFESSIONAL. 

Because he heard the property had 'high ceilings'!

Brokers are more for investors that are looking to scale and obtain various kinds of financing to shop around for.I'd highly recommend looking at the companies website and their reviews.

A great option for a channel manager - I would highly recommend the software. 

These are luxury, townhouse-style units so that's why the high dollar amounts. 

Since competition is high and inventory is low on Long Island, I recommend BP members try to go direct to seller which is an active form of building an off-market deal list. 

Is it highly recommended to switch the home insurance to a policy that is meant for rentals right after you sign the new lease?

I've often heard BP use the terms "Cash Flow markets" and "Appreciation markets", and they are generally referring to low-priced markets as "Cash Flow" and high-priced markets as "Appreciation".
