Cleveland BRRRR — Looking for GC + Realtor

[Michalis Georgiades]

Hey Cleveland investors,

I'm an out-of-state investor actively scaling my Cleveland portfolio with multiple deals in the pipeline. Looking to add two key team members to my rotation: a reliable general contractor and an investor-focused real estate agent.

What I'm working on:

• Multi-family BRRRR deals (2-4 units, occasional SFH)
• Hard money / no seasoning refi setup already in place
• Target zips: 44102, 44103, 44105, 44108, 44109, 44110, 44111
• Goal of 10-20 doors in the next 6-12 months

Looking for a GC who:

• Specializes in investor rehabs ($15K-$120K range)
• Provides written, line-item estimates
• Works comfortably with hard money draw schedules
• Reliable timelines (1-12 weeks depending on scope)
• Comfortable communicating with out-of-state owners
• Licensed and insured in Cleveland
• Can handle multiple projects simultaneously

Looking for a realtor who:

• Actively works with investors (not retail-focused)
• Has experience in C-class and B-class Cleveland neighborhoods
• Can pull and analyze MLS comps quickly
• Comfortable with cash/hard money offers and fast closes
• Conservative on ARV estimates rather than overly optimistic
• Understands BRRRR strategy specifically
• Knows the difference between "rental resale" and true value-add deals

What I bring to the relationship:

• Multiple deals per year, not a one-and-done
• Decisive — I run my own numbers and move fast when deals make sense
• Pre-approved financing in place
• Easy to work with, respectful of your time

If you've worked with someone reliable, please share their name (PM is fine if you'd rather). References from your own projects would be much appreciated. Self-introductions from contractors/realtors are welcome too — just include some recent project examples or investor client references.

Thanks in advance!

Cleveland is a great market to invest in.

I started investing here after moving from Florida for the growing market about 3 years ago. I spend all day sourcing deals now.

I'd be happy to send you a graded map of the area and share a list of useful contacts.
