Note that in Cleveland the price per unit on buildings like that combined with the difficulty in financing those types of assets leads investors to a lower ROI per unit than a 2-4 unit would net them. 8-12 unit buildings are very unattractive investments to commercial lenders, while 2-4 unit buildings will qualify for 30 year residential financing.

Anyone have any leads?

I learned the hard way that red flags up front can lead to an expensive and adversary conclusion. 

Keep running numbers and finding new streams for leads, you'll know your deal when you see it. 

@Taylor SmithBe on the lookout for powder post beetles, knob and tube wiring, lead based paint, and deteriorating fieldstone foundations. 

My question is have you been able to generate leads from probate attorneys or real estate attorneys?

Combining all of your Personal policies and all of your Commercial policies is actually much more challenging from an underwriting standpoint than all of the commercials would lead you to believe.The reality is most Personal Lines underwriters would prefer that we do not place the rentals with the Home and Auto and put them with a different insurance carrier. 

The lead certified appraisal sent their assistant to the home.

Lead with that when you start the next conversation.Another option would be to bring in another more experienced investor and accept smaller profit while tapping in to their resources and experience.

Another piece to remember, particularly in the current supply chain we are living with: lead times can be extremely long.
