Columbus to Cleveland (take two)

[Kyle Schlosser]

Hi, BP. I had previously posted in anticipation of a move from Columbus, OH to Louisville, KY. Ultimately, we chose to move (we have two young ones) closer to family rather than far away, so Cleveland it is. I look forward to the opportunity to meet other BP folks at local events and welcome any guidance regarding good meet-ups to attend. I’m green as it gets with zero properties under my belt, but that will soon change. Thanks to every participant of every thread I’ve read thus far—such a wealth of knowledge here. Wonderful holidays to all and a fantastic 2018 to follow. Kyle

Hi Kyle welcome to BP! I am an investor in Columbus, but originally from the Akron/Cleveland area. There is a ton of opportunity in the Cleveland Metro area. Sooo many people all within an hour drive radius (depending where you live), plus the rents are in the Grant Cardone sweet spot of $800-$1200.

Some tips to get started is to ask around about lenders and agents. People will gladly share their recommendations and you can interview 5 or so of each and find ones that align with your goals. Starting with those 2 will keep you accountable in your property searches as they will be feeding you leads for analysis. It’s great to network and talk to other investors, so you can start with meetup.com as already suggested. Good luck!!
