Out-of-State Investor Looking to connect with agents

Real Estate Agent · UT · Member since 2023 · 27 posts · 22 votes

I'm an out-of-state investor looking to connect with agents who specialize in working with investors and can help source, analyze, and manage deals on the ground. I've already completed multiple BRRRR projects and flips in the Cleveland market, so I'm not new to the process and understand what it takes to execute. I'm now looking to scale and expand with the right local partners who have strong market knowledge, access to off-market or value-add opportunities, and ideally can assist with project oversight. If that sounds like you or someone you know, let's connect and chat

If you are scaling from out of state in Cleveland, the biggest win is having one local team that can help you filter deals fast and keep execution tight after closing. The right agent should understand your BRRRR and flip criteria, know what actually trades versus what just gets marketed, and be able to pressure test ARV, rent, rehab scope, and timeline before you get too far down the road. A quick numbers check on every deal still matters even at scale since a missed rehab item or soft ARV can wipe out your margin fast. That is where IEC can be useful too since we can help connect the deal analysis, financing strategy, and local execution support so you are not piecing it together one vendor at a time.

What zip codes and price range are you targeting now? Send over your buy box if you want and I can help you think through the kind of agent and IEC support setup that would actually help you scale cleanly.

    Happy to connect, sounds like we’re aligned on the same markets and approach. I’m actively working in the area (and broader Ohio) sourcing off-market and value-add opportunities, and we’ve got a solid boots-on-the-ground team in place for project oversight, PM, contractors, and lenders.

    Have you looked at doing brrrr deals in columbus? Since you have the experience from cleveland, it makes sense to look there. I own 28 rental units here. Also, sell a ton of investment properties to OOS investors. Good market to acheive 75% ARV and job,tech, and population growth has made the appreciation very strong.

    Hey Kaveh, sounds like you’ve already got a solid foundation with BRRRRs and flips, so at this stage it really comes down to tightening your local team and deal flow more than anything. When you’re building out-of-state, I’ve found the best agents for investors are the ones who actually understand how to underwrite deals the same way you do, not just send listings, so I’d focus on people who can talk through rent comps, rehab scope, exit strategies, and realistic timelines without sugarcoating things. For sourcing, a lot of strong agents aren’t sitting on big “secret” off-market lists, but they do have consistent relationships with wholesalers, property managers, and contractors that create a steady stream of opportunities, so I’d ask about their network more than just deal volume. On the management/oversight side, clarity upfront is huge—who’s walking properties, who’s managing draws, how often you’re getting updates, and how problems get handled when you’re not local. One thing I’ve seen trip people up when scaling is trying to rely too heavily on one person to do everything, so even with a great agent, it usually works better to have a separate PM and contractor you trust to keep checks and balances in place. If you dial in the right small team instead of just one “all-in-one” solution, it tends to scale a lot cleaner and with fewer surprises.
