He bought a block of houses for almost nothing, and turned them into law offices.I did a few of my own in West Philly and Overbrook.

Rents are only slightly higher on the west side, but prices are much higher.

Miami. west palm. boca raton. all south east of florida.) do you get more deals done there more motivated sellers I know the propertys are a lot cheaper there then where I am at (new jersey)love to hear your feedback on this thanks.

Sorry to hate on south euclid, but I watched the transition before I moved west.

Right now I have a realtor in a small mid west town buying every wholesale deal that comes on the market we are paying 7 to 15k per home... then in FLA my deals are 50 to 60k wholesale I just did a few in the Carolinas were they were 200k ish...

TK company4 marketer5 super marketerEach and every level increases the purchase price..Its the same with the very deep conversations regarding GURU training.Everyone on this site *****'s profusely about paying gurus for training but there is little mention of those that sell houses for far over true local value.And that is a mid west and east coast SOP...

Using a title company that doesn't provide escrow services to out-of-area buyers is also outside the norm here in the West.  

@Adrian DeGraff Welcome I'm in West Columbia SC.

And I think I am in my area of expertise the West coast but the mid west and east coast are completely different animals., and from what I can see far more complex than our (what I would consider) very straight forward fcl. sale laws and tax sale laws.Example buy a tax sale in CA OR WA and it wipes out each and every encumbrance bar none except IRS liens.. which fall off in 6 months.buy a Foreclosure and you wipe out anything that is junior except ad valorum tax's and Irs liens...from what I am learning here on BP its not like that in the mid west and east.so to that end invest a Grand and get a GOOD local attorney to give you an opinion paper on the subject..

I would give a first draw a middle draw and final once everything is complete.But I do forget its not like west coast were we pay our subs ONCE a month. their bill has to be in on the 1st and they are paid on the 10th...
