Hi everyone, new to the BP community and real estate investing, looking to gain quality information to help jumpstart my investing journey, thanks! 

There are so many variables to "what it costs" that even if I gave you a number, it could be high or low depending on the actual properties.

I seriously don't know what your high on as you concoct the moronic replies you make, I don't. 

Alot of factors to consider in terms of rates but Id say par for the course in the conventional space high 6's

I am in FL looking to buy an investment property in Akron, the University area called my attention because of the need for housing for the students but in the neighborhoodscout crime website it tells me that area is so high in crime that makes me think twice about investing there.

Quartz makes sense for a high end unit/ fancy neighborhood where you can and will attract tenants willing to pay more for them.Repainting is often a no brainer, but could be based on the current conditions as to whether or it is needed.I agree with Melanie on researching the washer/dryer comps. 

I think people are investing in Midwest states, like Ohio, because of cheap prices, high rents, and landlord friendly laws

Quality over quantity!

It's essentially Stessa partnered with a 3rd party bank where the rent payments are ACH-ed into and it is a high yielding account.

Again, if you are financing the rehab costs then this question becomes highly critical.There is good money to be made in expensive neighborhoods and also in low-cost neighborhoods.
