Good on you Fernando, the best part of the Cleveland market is that every investor wants to see you succeed. A good start is seeing if this life is really for you. Come to one of the networking events, Investorsource CLE is a good one, Great Lakes REIA is decent. You'll see me there.

    Welcome aboard Fernando. 1st thing you'll want to checkout is The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods. Countless investors have used this free tool over the last 11+ years to get themselves a base level of knowledge of the Cleveland market.

    From there reach out to me, I'll love to talk shop with you. I've dealt with 1,000's of tenants and properties here in Cleveland. Have made millions in the Section 8 space.

    Welcome, Fernando! Your construction background is a big plus since you’ll have a better feel for rehab costs than most new investors. I’m active around Cleveland and work with investors on long-term rentals, so happy to connect and share what I’m seeing in the market.

    Hey @Fernando Mendoza , welcome to the BP Forum! Which property types interest you most, SFR, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF? What is your price range/down payment amount? Are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
