I recently watched a bigger pockets podcast that hosted a guy who bought 3bed/2bath, yr 2000 built properties for 80k cash and rented them for 1,000$+ that weren't in awful neighborhoods.

What would be a good price to pay for a consultation, and what shady business practices should I watch out for?

I turn them on for all the reasons above, but there are downsides.The druggies that are homeless do watch and see a house being rehabbed with water and electricity and move in, or sometimes just stay the night and leave before the workers come in the morning. 

Even if a GC is running things - who watches the GC?

Trump has indicated they may take a stronger position but our attornies haven't seen any action yet.AZ is watching closely to see how cases go etc, right now we just deal with it!

Says better watch your step when you step out of the house.I guess when you do rentals for nearly 40 years, you've seen everything.

Sit on the deck and watch the aspens quake. 

I've watched the values decrease and saw several SFHs listed in the $800,000 to $900,000 range recently - they did need some work. 

@Wyatt Postal I like Indy metro, KC metro, Dallas metro (if you can find a deal... watch out for property taxes here), Memphis metro (Memphis bleeds over state lines too!)
