I’m currently reading Dave Meyer’s book on deal analysis and Brandon Turner’s book on rental property investing.

Often they will tell you what they're having a challenge with (like finding off market deals, a reliable property manager, etc).

I read an interesting paper the other day, dealing with the question if we could re-launch modern society, if we had to start over from a pre-industrial stage for example after a nuclear exchange.

Are you prequalified and how fast can you close a deal?

Because Youngstown is a city on the decline, the more rural the area, the more likely it will be to hold its value and vice versa, making a good deal of the neighborhoods within the city limits too risky to invest in, but it does offer a few diamonds in the rough that are undervalued due to the overall stigma surrounding the city. 

Some states have specific rules for buying, selling, or servicing mortgage notes that you must adhere to, even if you are out-of-state.3.Federal Regulations: While state regulations are the primary concern, be aware of any federal regulations that may apply, particularly if you are dealing with notes related to federally insured mortgages.4.

I need some assistance with funding a MTR deal.

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

yeah my parents and brother both got home insurance below $2000 that is close to that area, and they just renew it recently too, so I thought our estimate would be correct.... and the option period is already passed, if this doesn't seem to be good deal anymore, we can just back out of it and lose earnest money right ?
