Cleveland's lead safe certification makes it a constant maintenance issue.   

Do you think investors should spend more time exploring solutions that don’t always involve acquisition?

Quote from @Michael Santeusanio: I’ve been seeing more investors shift away from traditional banks and use creative financing solutions.

Only solutions i see to this problem are to find hidden bonus rooms to be able to ask for more rent or play with interest rate/ down payment/ purchase price to lower the monthly payment.

How NOT safe is crypto?

Any suggestions, solutions, or ways around this problem ?

That's actually a big problem when you want to get elected.The solution is to build more houses, reduces taxes, reduce regulations (not completely, but yes, some regulations are ridiculous and hurt housing.)The current countrywide housing strategy will not survive as it is, it will collapse, AGAIN, and that will be a "buy" signal.In the meanwhile, I am buying "off market" so the seller & I have no realtor fees, I buy at 85% of value (yes, saving 15%, on a $400,000 property, that's about $60,000 below cost) and taking over the financing of the existing mortgage, saving loan fees and getting 2.5% loans, that's a monthly savings of about $1,000.

Often times you have to realize unless someone has made the DECISION to sell and find a solution, there's nothing you can do.

My aim is to connect motivated sellers with serious cash buyers by doing the groundwork: researching properties, building relationships, and creating win-win solutions.

Most general home inspectors don't include lead safe risk assessment or inspection.
