Getting started in the Midwest, Ohio or MI most specifically

[Cesar Figueroa]

Hi all!  New to investing and am really excited to get into it.  I’ve been a lurker of BP for years and have never had the guts to do it.  I am living out of NYC and have the opportunity to travel a bit more as I work in tech and am remote.  That being said, I am hyper interested in the Cleveland and Detroit markets.  

My main goal is to get decent cash flow, but of course appreciation trickled in. I want to knock out my first SFR purchase in the next 3 months and am hoping to network with link minded people in both of these markets. Or any advice/comments/nuggets would be great. I will say I don't have a construction background, but I'd like to build a solid network so I can pop in and out of the areas and oversee projects.

Thanks and hope you all are having a great weekend!

@Cesar Figueroa Cleveland is great for the cash flow! Areas I focus on are Berea, Lakewood, Edgewater, Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, Downtown, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Euclid, Kirtland, and Geneva. They have been successful as of recent and are great areas for STR as well.
