Plus you will understand the investor mentality.I didn't have a degree or take special schooling in anything (related to management or business) other than my master's of reality from the school of real estate investing hard knocks. . . :)   I have done a lot of property management in the past 10 years and have continued to build my business.  

It is better to buy a more expensive property (at least 70-100,000$) in a better school district 6.

I think areas like North Royalton, North Olmsted, Broadview Heights, Middleburg Heights, etc will all be better places to do a flip due to the increased price points, better schools and higher income buyer bases.

Now with the city requiring property inspections for all non-owner occupied properties, coupled with poor schools, high taxes and nation leading crime rate, I would go to the Baltimore county to the north and east. 

It’s not booming as much as Boise but it does have a 40% owner 60% rental population because of the College Of Southern Idaho, the recently built hospital and 4 brand new schools and the rumors of a large company setting up shop.

Now that our children are in school full-time I have a lot more time to educate myself and work towards our goals. 

@Shane Jenkins My sister went to school at Northwood, and was renting a room in her side of the duplex with 2 or 3 other girls.

I have someone from my business school (not yet on BP) also interested possibly and he's done some investing in London, more than I have.

Creating an entity solely owned by the same individual who is the mortgagee of the property in order to bypass FNMA seasoning guidelines sounds pretty shaky in a legal world intent and form are considered over formality and function.Once again- Didn't go to law school, but I wouldn't advise any of my buyers use this method when purchasing a property from me.In addition- I'm not sure the result of doing this would be any different than delayed financing.

I went to school to be a youth pastor, then immediately re-enrolled in a nursing program.
