Sigh. The last 10 days or so have been traumatic for me. I have a son-in-law who is an experienced real estate investor. I became aware that two deals had closed six weeks ago involving one of the investors I got him....

Ohio law strictly prohibits a landlord from making the tenant responsible for any kind of major maintenance.

Then you will have a Great Depression, not just a recession. 

All 3 of these are fairly depressed markets with low incomes and high poverty rates.

Instead of getting a person depressed about the whole idea of selling by means of telling them the thousands of mini items they need to make it worth the sale.

We had 9/11 and a pandemic and a Great Financial Crisis but none of those even came remotely close to the Spanish Flu or the Great Depression.

To invest, choose A/B class neighborhoods, target properties within 15-20 minutes of major hospitals, budget for professional cleaning, and consider financing loans or lines of credit.Good luck!

Tired of throwing away money in rent, I moved back to my tiny hometown and purchased a foreclosure property in need of major TLC.

Kind of like for me my grandparents living through the great depression borrowing money and paying interest was against their religion.

I truly dreaded the standard retirement plan when I was in my 20’s  “save as much as you can and hope you die before you run out”seemed REALLY depressing/scary.
