@Kenneth Clarke I live in Wyoming, so I can't tell you where to go or who to talk to, but I can give you some advice on what to do:Learn everything you can about analyzing deals on BP podcast, webinars, books, forums, etc. and commit to analyzing 10 deals a week.

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.I hope this basic guide helps.

Scott's book on this topic, but I would like to start getting some real world practice.

I have already signed up for the meetup happening next week and have been reading Scott Trench's book "Set for Life" as well as listening to podcasts during the day.

If you're interested in learning more about finding your niche as a real estate investor and options for marketing methods, I wrote a whole book on the subject. 

If you'd like to learn more about finding and hiring contractors, I wrote a whole book on the subject which talks more about my experience hiring and working with contractors as a mobile home investor.

This is excluding some other important costs but you can get all of that from BP calculators or from any flipping book which you will want to read at least one or two to have an idea of the process.$40.000 - Purchase price$1.400 - Purchase closing costs$10.000 - Repair costs$2.000 - Holding costs$3.900 - Commissions$975 - Sale closing costs$58.275 - Total Costs$65.000 - Sale Price (I split the difference in your range)$6.725 - Profit before personal taxes $53.400 - Total cash invested (Total costs - commissions - sale closing costs)12.59% - ROI (again assuming no financing)The ROI is not horrible but one thing goes wrong or if you are off on your sales number by just 5% and you lose ALL your profit and take a loss on this as a flip.The property you are mentioning should be a rental based on the limited numbers you provided.

Thanks for the shout @Chris Bodden@Kobi Pesi As you are looking into the Cleveland area the 1st thing you should do is read The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods to familiarize yourself with the market.

I currently read a book plus half a dozen podcast episodes a week... which means it's time to spend more time talking to real investors and seeing real deals.As you can see by the icon, I'm a falconer; I train wild hawks.

You got the unit back in decent condition without going through the eviction process, that's a win in my book.
