The average startup costs for me was in the 15k range.  

At one point I realized we were paying this guy $4200/mo for a property that I could see on the MLS he bought for something like $180k.I tried to get him to sell (using alumni as our backing investors) but he came back with a price in the $400 range and said he had no real need to sell.

Because Chicago is amazing in the sense that it has prices at all levels and tons of old inventory in need of renovation (if you want to renovate).Networking in person was the biggest help for me to get started. 

If you get into Cleveland, I would just recommend looking into the A-B range neighborhoods if Short term rentals are in your plan.

I’m motivated to go all-in on flipping and currently source all my deals from the MLS and Zillow, focusing on properties in the $1.5M - $2M range.

I know it will not be 100% accurate, but I want to be able to have a range in terms of prices for renovations, just from eyeing the property myself.

So, if the range of rents they see for comps are $1100-1450 they think $1400-1450 is "market rent".

AGI is roughly $100k per year + a range of $500 to $3k in rental cash flow per month. 

Since I live in Florida, where many properties are currently out of my price range, I’ll be investing out of state.I have a few questions and would appreciate some guidance:1.

the majority of our off market inventory is within 3 months of being completed and we provide special incentives like investor pricing, rate buy downs, and property management discounts.Feel free to contact me directly if you want to talk about strategy or markets in Florida Best of luck
