GC: Scott Tovin from Ross Brothers Construction Roofer:  German Duarte from Florida Quality Roofing Mold / Restoration: Johnny Mackey from All Dry USAYou can find all of them on google, but if not, feel free to contact me.  

The GC also wants me to apply for credit at places like Home Depot and Lowes to purchase all of the materials.

I like using rentometer and craigslist to gauge averages in a specific area - craigslist is a good resource as people generally include photos so you can see what kind of quality the unit is.

For someone who has cash - could be a great deal and very secure against a low leveraged property.Best,Michael Vallee

When the tied gets low, investors rush in.

Try  Brandon's book on  Investing with no or low money down, it would help give you ideas on creative financing if you're low on funds

Hyde Park is overpriced; it is a very nice area but you can certainly find quality places near there in such places as Oakley, Walnut Hills and Norwood. 

However, the golden rule in RE is BUY LOW SELL HIGH.

I don't have to put a down payment nor I will have to pay PMI and have a low interest (3.5%). 

Hello BP Community,I too found some lots mostly in moderate to low-income neighborhoods.
