It is typically the program itself that leads investors to avoid it.Things like long wait times for inspections, no direct point of contact and inspection criteria that changes with the mood of the inspector are all things that make dealing with CMHA much more difficult than it needs to be.

Check yearly climates of Stockholm and Malmo next to Cleveland and Columbus - they're not far apart.

But I closed on a rehab that will make me 30k in a matter of a few weeks, got an offer accepted on a 6 property package, picked out hardwood, appliances, granite, and paint on a high end rehab, I spoke with an investor over seas in Australia, I signed a JV with investors from NY, I got to play with my dogs whenever I wanted, and at the end of the day I'm in a great mood. 

Depending on how well written they are and the "then current" financial laws and the state & county the property is in and the type of lawsuit and the mood of the court and the expertise of your attorney, you can mitigate most risk but not all.

so just trying to lighten the mood some.

Yes, every trade affects the next trade and one bad inspection (even simply because the inspector is in a bad mood) can set everything back by a week....So yes, a jobsite will often sit empty and for good reasons that the average passerby would never understand.+1 on the Gannt chart!

You could buy two $200K properties for cash if you're in a conservative mood.
