Cleveland Real Estate Investors

Member since 2020 · 9 posts · 3 votes

Hey BP community. I am new to the Northeast Ohio area, and looking to network and meet up with fellow investors in Ohio. I and my partner are very interested in this market, and would definitely like to build strong relations here since I have moved my family to Cleveland. Also looking to connect with folks in the columbus and Dayton areas as well!

Maybe our REIA's are unique in Ohio as they are not individually owned/directed. All of our chapters are aligned and under a state level association with our boards, conventions, and even lobbyist to represent us in Columbus. Once you join one chapter you are automatically entitled to participate in any chapter in the state, which is great as many of us invest in different areas. They are run like most professional associations, which really makes it a friendly community. It's certainly a group that I am extremely happy to participate in, it's how I got started back in the early 90's, long before the internet was useful. Most of our meetings are held on zoom/gotomeeting right now, but some of the subgroups are meeting in person. We have weekly breakfasts, landlord groups, private lender groups, multifamily, wholesalers, and others. I can't see why an active investor in Ohio wouldn't join one - very well worth the annual couple hundred dollars.

We're here in Socal but invest out in Cleveland. We even a hosted a meetup the second to last time we actually went out there but due to the coronavirus I didn't make the trip out there last month with my partners and they just went to visit our properties. Right now i'd say bigger pockets will be your best friend to make connections and then possibly meeting up from there!

@Jacob Repreza your best " friend " is connecting with someone that has done 100s and 100s and 100s of deals, is an expert knowing exactly where to buy and what price to pay and handles everything. OOS investors should not be involved with anything. 10- 14% net caps 1005 hands off are to be had, its all about knowledge and your team

Thank you all for your input. I will definitely be sure to reach out to each of you to hopefully build some solid relationships! I am looking for mainly for buy and hold opportunities with long term tennant occupied preference. Want to look mainly in up and coming areas in close proximity to downtown areas in both Cleveland and Columbus. I have also looked at some of the surrounding suburbs like Cleveland Heights and South Euclid in Cleveland.
