@Rich Gephart Welcome to BiggerPockets you are definitely in the right place. Just make sure to consume contents here as much as possible and feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help each other grow.

I am not in the Cleveland area, but I would still like to share my knowledge. Joining events in your area is a great way to start connecting with other experts.

I would suggest looking for meetups and investment groups in your area. You can look for those by going to the BP Forums, enter the filter "Real Estate Events and Happenings" as shown in the photo below. Then you're able to put in your city or zip code and a radius that you'd like to search within.

Hopefully this helps!
