I have been funding mid west cash flow homes as and acquisition rehab lender for turn key companies since 2001. well over 2000 fundings  along with over 1000 fundings for buy and holders looking for longer term debt. plus I owned 350 cash flow homes in  MS GA INDY  Memphis and B Ham personally.So I can categorically tell you that the risk and hassle factor is exponentially tied to the value of the asset.. its simply makes logical sense.. if you buy the cheapest home in a given metro area what are you buying into.. ???
