Hi everyone! After a long sabbatical, I am back to BP forum. I am a new out-of-state investor considering two markets in Ohio - Cleveland or Toledo. Primary goal is to invest in multi-family units. However, I am open to single-family properties as well, if numbers make sense. I would like to get ...

I work in both Southwest Florida and Cleveland, and I get a lot of "why Cleveland?" from people who only look at nightly rates. Here's what the data looks like right now (AirDNA, data through Sep 2026): About 3,948 active listings, down 8.7% year over year Average daily rate around $149, up 2.1% ...

We are currently living in a condo that we have owned for the past 6 years, and now that we have a young child, we are looking for our next house. My husband is a new realtor. We cannot r...
It's always worth paying attention to what's happening beyond the property itself. The Ohio City development opportunity is a good example of how transportation access, redevelopment, and investment can intersect. Projects like this can influence how an area develops over time, what businesses mo...
Hey everyone! I’m a small multifamily investor in the Providence and Pawtucket, RI area, and I’m looking to expand into out-of-state investing, specifically Ohio and the Columbus/Cleveland markets. I’m currently working on learning the Ohio market, understanding which areas offer the best opportu...
I know the title sounds rudimentary, but I've been wholesaling full time for YEARS. My usual process (sticky note to find sellers, FSBO sign in yard to find buyers). But, this is my first time in a new market, and I just can't find a vetted experienced buyer ready to move. Of course it's the mill...
I’m buying 20-60 unit apartment properties in Lorain County and west Cleveland, and I’m looking for a lender that will let a seller-financed second reduce the cash I bring to closing. I’ve seen a lot of creative finance deals done with 5-10% down where the seller carries part of the price, and I’...
Hi BP, I'm Alex. I'm an investor, agent, and off-market dispositions guy in Northeast Ohio, and I've been working this market for more than a decade. The thing I see trip up newer and out-of-area investors most often is point-of-sale (POS) inspections. Many of our suburbs, especially east of Clev...
Tenant turnover is one of those things where I think it's easy to go too far in either direction. On one hand, you want the unit to be clean, well-maintained, and appealing to the next tenant. On the other, not every turnover needs to turn into a mini renovation. If the flooring still has life le...
I have a a question to the community. Do you think I can find someone who can fund my deal while I carry out the complete management renovation from start to finish. What is the appropriate? Split of course some part of my funds will be involved, especially during the Reno, etc. (background compl...

Hi Everyone! My siblings and I are purchasing a rental property together through an LLC and currently are talking to a national bank. They let me know that closing would take around 45-60 days.

So I closed on a 4 unit mutli back in december that was 75% occupied, on MTM and well below market. I bought for 425k in one of the best neighborhoods in Cleveland, great rental demand, close to city center and walking distance to everything. I put in about 90k in renovations and upgrades and now...

Assumptions: 25% down, 7% / 30-yr, 3% closing, 8% vacancy, 7% repairs, 8% capex, 10% management. Rent = 85% of HUD Small ...
Have a property I finished got it appraised and everything but now I need to pull a DSCR loan trying to get a good rate
I've noticed more and more with investment properties is that there's a difference between making a property better and spending money on things that actually matter to the next buyer or tenant. It's easy to get caught up in wanting everything to be perfect, especially when you're already in the ...
I have bought a few houses at auction and have sold them to family or for my own use. I am not a flipper. I just recently bought a house close to my daughter's under the first look program. And fully intended to move there. Once I got into the house I realized it was destroyed and will be lucky t...
When analyzing short term rental performance, most investors focus strictly on optimizing average daily rates and calendar occupancy. Yet capturing ancillary guest spending remains one of the cleanest ways to expand cash flow, provided it does not increase operational overhead or accelerate prope...
