@Corey Keller I think estimating rehab as a cost per square foot is useful in determining if you should investigate further (just like the 70% rule and similar rules)  Once you see the inside you should be able to come up with a more itemized list that better estimates costs than an average from someone else.

This is a great place to learn and further investigate investing in real estate.

I am new agent in California investigating income properties as my market niche.

As I'm investigating more... it appears that all of Dayton OH has high crime and sex offenders galore! 

Along with hundreds of articles, blogs and posts about how shady and aggressive the Rich Dad Education series are I found a 20 minute "Canadian Dateline" investigation that took cameras undercover and inside the 3 day class.  

I certainly will do a thorough boots on ground investigation of the neighborhood and the building itself.

I visit sometimes as I have family there (dad still lives there).About a year ago I was in town with my wife over the Christmas holiday for a bit and decided to get out and investigate the same (out of state investing). 

The Agency’s investigations are complaint driven, so we rely heavily on the public, and our licensees to bring these individuals to our attention.

That's pretty much what all the houses on this block are assessed at.Surely there's lots more to investigate, but are these the sorts of deals I should be finding and looking at?

You've given me plenty to think about and investigate.
