Thank you Tyler for your advice. I will search for quads near Cleveland and see if something makes sense. Thank you again

You can't make money on a deal you don't own. I suggest to lower your goal to a 7% Coc ROI (instead of 10%), pull the trigger, and scale. You lose more money on deals you dont buy. With that said, have a solid criteria and stick to it. Don't just buy anything
Thank you Jason for that solid advice. I appreciate it very much

Hi @Account Closed. The median price for a single family home is now at $320,000. I'm not sure I understand how you plan to find a quad for a third of the price of what you see on the market and also want it to double the current cash flow. Am I missing something?
There are currently 13 quads within 50 miles radius of Orlando from $319 to $999. So finding one at $200k (or below as you stated) would be quite extraordinary! Let me know if you want more stats or current inventory levels. Best of Luck!
Thank you Shawn for the information. It is really helpful. Central Florida has become an area where it is difficult to find a deal that cash flow well with ROI above 12%. I was asking the group if someone knows an area of the country where I could find quads under $250k that will produce between 1% and maybe 2% in rental income.
Thank you

Hi Andrew, I am a REA in Central Florida and I will not be bother too much because one of my clients is working with a wholesaler. In the end, I see my job as one where I help my clients look for a good deal for him or her. Whatever "good deal" means. It could be location, ROI or simple a good price for the property.
My mindset is to provide exceptional service to my clients. In the end, my client will have to decide what is best for him or her.

Thank you for the suggestion. My client is in a similar situation. Do you have any suggestions besides opening a new CC or purchasing a used car?
Thank you in advance.
