Hello BP community! I have been investing in real estate for the past 3 years. My first deal was a big loser. Fix and flip in University Heights, Ohio. Holding costs and higher taxes ate away at all the profit. Since the first bust deal I have been focusing on buy and hold properties in Stark County. I currently own two duplexes, and three single family homes. I do not have a mortgage on any of the single family houses. My plan is to use the equity from these properties to buy more single family houses.
I am a member of the local stark county REIA. I would highly recommend joining the group if you are from the area! Great resources and very real down to earch people.
I am looking to learn more about creative financing and ways to find private money at reasonable interest rates.

Welcome @Grant Sevek. Nice to have a fellow Ohioan on BP!
Don't completely give up on the Cleveland market, UH is definitely a more costly suburb, especially the RE taxes. But there are plenty of great deals out there.
Look forward to getting to know you, feel free to reach out with any questions.
