Hey there we have had a lot of success in Detroit Mi and Cleveland Oh I would strong suggest you continue to explore Detroit MI and add cleveland to the mix Understand there are pros , cons , and risks associated with both marketplaces and as long as you understand what you are investing in and are comfortable with it - there is potential to grow a solid portfolio in those cities. 

THOSE MUST BE IN THE MARKETPLACE FORUM.

If you are worried about counterfeits, get a counterfeit detection pen and use it.

They can get up in the $3500 range if you add items or "packages" like the expansion tank(could be needed), recirc pump(could be wanted), and "leak detection devices"(scam).

Advertise on Zillow and FB Marketplace.

I would suggest that you keep searching craigslist and Facebook marketplace for a current list of those hanging up a housekeeping shingle.  

I can’t post contact details outside the marketplace, but feel free to message me to share.   

@Nicholas Pasowiczwe just use fb marketplace or craigslist, I don't know of any specific site other than the ones listed on this forum

I recommend starting with understanding and breaking down the numbers....what your model/strategy will be, what you can qualify for, and how that all translates to the current marketplace.
