I originally planned on staging the house, but my agent suggested it would make it an easy target for thieves breaking into a vacant house (unfortunately it is that type of area).He did bring up the idea of virtual staging, a service where you send in your photos and they populate them with furnishing and decor that look totally realistic (I looked at a few samples).

I've already got my mortgage guy upset at me - I'm fully qualified for two mortgages for my target range, but haven't moved forward.

If Cleveland is one of the areas in Ohio you are looking to target I recommend giving it a read.

I do need to connect with more resources locally, that's a goal of mine. 2018 will be pinching pennies and building knowledge. 

Reaching out to all my resources to see if any one has any recommendations as to who to use as an attorney to overlook and draft my PPM so that I can find investors, raise the funds required to close the deal and, and have everything in writing ready to go to prevent any legal discrepancies.

A lot of great resources out there, especially bigger pockets. 

I am not sure what resource the bank could have aside from calling the note due.

Are apartment management companies the best resource? 

Inflation has been growing at a controllable pace and pretty much in line with the 2% target (although the Fed is talking about raising that target).
