You have picked Cleveland as the victim city in your response, Cleveland is a strong RE Investment space, it all boils down to the same logic as anything else, no matter where you are in the country, you need to  have a good plan, team, asset in place for your out of state investment to be a success.

You see we committed first and then figured out a way to make it happen.4 years later, we were ready to do it again.

Should I put down 20% automatically or analyze the deal first before committing that much to a down payment?

Hopefully you bought a property that will attract better tenant than you just got rid of I saw on line yesterday a neat device it has a strong pulsing light followed by military grade pepper spray.. and ergonomically built so joggers can hold it while they jog.

Now I only practice architecture and I have a great builder that worked with me on the ADU, that I strongly recommend.)  

I also have a strong passion to help provide and build up safer, higher quality homes in the local low-income/high crime areas.I would love to MEET other investors (aspiring or experienced) to talk about plans, strategies, and just share some info and hang out!

As I closed deals in more areas, I developed a strong relationship with a few good title companies and they would provide me advice on how to update my contracts.

I have a strong background in residential construction.

For appliances "hey make sure you bring a dolly or a couple of strong friends" and my add always says they must pick up but I really mean im not your damn moving help.if all they want to do is get the address and come see whatever it is without all the details first they are either shady or just woefully unprepared and I don't want to deal with either of those.

I found that area to be an excellent opportunity to create passive income and strong capital gains.Looking forward to connecting with you, who knows maybe even do a deal together!
