I am wrapping up a rehab on a 2 flat in Beverly that you're more than welcome to come check out and pick my brain. 

I figure if you grew up in the projects or just blue collar land you will do better than if you grew up in Beverly Hills or etc.

In some cases investors were mere dishwashers and hospitality staff at the prominent Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and lured to invest buy another worker Surya Aparajita.

Any hotel in the area (WeHo/Beverly Hills) was a minimum of $250/night.

Bay Area is world class real estate you have to look at Bejing Singapore Hong Kong  Honolulu  Paris London Zurich for comps not the US>  and same with Beverly hills areas of prime so cal..  

Just to name a few:Perrysburg: A+ suburban, but pricy and they go fastOregon: B suburbanRossford: B suburbanMaumee: B suburbanSouth Toledo / Beverly is probably one of the few within Toledo I would suggest as being relatively safe and also a reasonable commute for you.

I will cite Beverly Hills in the flats between Santa Monica Bl and Sunset Bl.

@Daniel Kramer, it's in the Beverly area of Toledo near Anthony Wayne Trail and Copland.

But it works in (arguably) all markets.Yes it will be far more difficult to do this in Beverly Hills CA, but not impossible.Jay, you need to realize that it is NOT money that is the bases of motivation.

I have a 12 unit in Euclid pretty close to the new Amazon on the corner of Beverly Hills and Euclid Ave.
