I want to help other Cleveland investors

Cleveland, OH · Member since 2022 · 826 posts · 578 votes

To any Cleveland investors, 

I'm an aspiring real estate investor looking to purchase my first house hack within the next 6 months. In the meantime, I have to continue to build up my capital for investments.

If there are any local investors who need help with finding properties, renting properties, marketing properties, taking care of properties, I'd love to help in any way I can. Looking to earn other money than my W2 to continue to build up my nest egg for my first investment property. 

Grateful for your consideration and please DM me if you would like to talk more! 

-Ben, aspiring house hacker

@Benjamin Sulka - I've had this thought before when I was starting out.  Couple of ideas - grab some landscaping equipment, power washer, snow removal equipment,  and/or cleaning gear.  Now you have a side hustle that you can leverage when you reach out to RE investors.  This is also stuff that you may need yourself in the near future if you work on your own properties.

    @Benjamin Sulka

    you may be already doing the following, but figured i'd throw them out:

    go to every REIA meeting you can find, including ones 1-2 hours away

    form your own mastermind of aspiring house hackers and meet monthly to hold each other accountable

    @Nicholas L.

    Really appreciate the advice. Definitely going to several REIA meetings each month but haven't expanded my radius that far. Great tip.

    Love the mastermind idea. I'm already part of an online group of aspiring real estate investors/entrepreneurs and many are already house hacking/looking to house hack. 

    I think it would be valuable to meet with them on regular intervals to check eachothers progress. 

    Thanks for your response!

    Hey @Benjamin Sulka, 

    I am a CT-based investor expanding into the South/Southwest Cleveland market. My focus is on acquiring a 10-20 unit building with a value-add investment strategy. I have already vetted and lined up my contractors, so I am ready to move forward with transactions ASAP. Please let me know if this is something that you can help me with. Thanks!

     What exact Cleveland neighborhoods are you looking at?

    @Benjamin Sulka I do not have a specific neighborhood in mind but do need the property to be located in a Class C or Class B neighborhood, due to my value-add strategy.

    @Sagar R. Parekh

    just curious, where in CT do you invest?  I have 1 property in Stamford and looking to do more in CT within the next few years.

    Hey Nick, I have invested in just about every CT county, but I am predominately in New Haven County. Stamford is an awesome area, especially for rentals. My business is based out of Milford, CT. If I can learn more about your preferred property type and investment strategies, I may be able to help you out where needed.

     I'm also in Stamford, 2 properties, would love to connect with you and learn about your experience to date in the area.  I'm also looking at Stamford for my next purchase or other areas, but I usually lean more towards class A/B.
