Hi Taz, This is exactly what I am learning in my 1 week of research about US real estate market :)I am starting to feel that Central and Northern Ohio + Detroit and Southern states are places to go. 

The dogs recently chewed my central air compressor resulting in a repair for which I told the tenant they were responsible.

I am looking to connect with anyone in Central Illinois.

if you are open to the Central OH market / Columbus we do ground up construction as a strategy. apartments, single family homes, etc. we have capacity for 20 new builds this year. 

You located in Central fl by any chance?  

In reality what happens is you end up paying more for a "clean house" but because you are doing a flip people want new mechanicals (central air, 200 amp electric, pvc plumbing stack) so you end up doing a full gut or larger rehab then simple cosmetics and now your returns have shrunk.In your situation for your first investment I would be ok with a smaller return because of the experience gained, but for the next look for larger profit.

Hello all. I've been educating myself highly in REI before I decide to purchase my first investment property. (I know I will have to eventually take the leap) I'm looking for investor meet ups, if any, in New Jersey. ...

Great location in central Augusta close to great shopping, entertainment, and the most famous golf course in the world.

Beacon Hill is well-known for having many types of housing units available within it, while Rainier Valley serves as one great place in terms of centrality and preferably affordability.

I also host a couple meetups in the Bay Area/Central Valley, I would be happy to show you how we consistently do deals every month.
