C = Moderate priced houses, reasonable crime, very few board ups, or burn outs. 

@Rhiannon ThenI am an investor in Cleveland, and live in China...I suggest beginning with the article below by @James Wise [A Bigger Pockets Moderator and the owner of Holton-Wise my Cleveland Property Management Company]https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/47...Cheers...

Moderators note: If you are a syndicator, do not respond saying you can find them a deal.

Candidly, we're still wrestling with scope/cost as we speak, and I would call it a moderate rehab. 

Another way the say this is that this rule makes a lot of people happy at a very important time.Please do not twist my words and talk about things we are not supposed to talk about here, or the moderator might remove my post if you associate it with off limits topics. 

There are a lot of options but it depends on what level of involvement you want, your risk tolerance, and your goals.Below are a few options to research:BRRRR one property at a time - High involvement, higher risk, higher returnsBuy 4-5 Turn Key properties - Moderate involvement, moderate risk, moderate returnsInvest in a fund - Low involvement, moderate risk, moderate returnPrivate Lending - Low-Medium involvement, low-medium risk, moderate returnsIf any of those attracts you, let us know and we can point you in the right direction.

As long as you can afford/stomach/hold your nose at the moderately higher mortgage for 12-18 months, it should make far more financial sense to just eat that higher mortgage cost and refinance later into a rate for the long-term.

[Solicitation Removed by Moderators]

I too take the approach as a moderator to delete just the solicitation or “pm me” verbiage if the rest of the post is fine and only the violation portion of the post is removed.

Insurance is great at dealing with small and moderate claims, and they handle most of the communication in those claims, too.
