Hey Jerell!

Lots of good information here. I typically tell my new investors that in addition to the other suggestions offered here, you should find a way to meet as many people as you can who are already investing in the city you want to invest in. The experiences they have already had can save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of time figuring things out. Become a student of not just the real estate and the neighborhoods, but what's happening in that community that could impact your business. Who are the people you can call to get completely objective information? Find some local investor communities to participate in, get in on some masterminds, meet the people who have already achieved the level of success you are looking for. No need to start completely from scratch reinventing the wheel.

Let me know if I can point you in the direction of some groups or resources that focus on Cleveland investing or help in any way.

My best to you! 

Hi @Brechman Dieujuste,

Congratulations on getting started! I see you've gotten some good responses about property managers etc. I have a few that I would also recommend if you need more recommendations. Please feel free to send me a message and I'll give you some contacts. Posting them can get a little tricky because experiences can vary so broadly over time and these posts last forever. A great recommendation from a year ago might not be as good now as it was then. I also have an amazing lender who has been able to close on deals for my clients in less than 2 weeks, which is amazing!

Although you didn't ask for this, would also recommend that you try to connect with other investors and local experts in the area so you can learn from their experiences. They can be invaluable as a new investor and save you from some very expensive mistakes. I have a couple of recommendations for groups and events you can join that are focused specifically on Cleveland real estate investing.

Wishing you all the best! Let me know if I can point you toward additional resources.

Hey BP- I'm looking for folks who have found some great off market deals in Cleveland. Please let me know if you'd be up for a chat about your experience.  

Thanks all,

E

Hi Will! 

Welcome! Lots of good advice on here already. I will add that you should seek out ways to feed this passion. Build community with others who can not only be part of your team but who share your goals and are also looking to find success investing in real estate. That will keep you focused and motivated. People on this site are always so willing to get on the phone with other investors and share. I would be glad to make some introductions for you to get the ball rolling if you're interested. Feel free to send me a note if you're interested. 

All the best!

Hi @Kyle Isenberg!

Nice to meet you virtually. I just had a great conversation with  @Dave Stokley about short term rentals. His company specializes in the management of STRs in this area and they have been recognized for doing a good job. I think you should reach out to him for a chat about that specific topic. 

If there is more I can offer to help you on your journey with my realtor or investor hats on, please feel free to send me an inbox. 

Wising you all the best!

Hey Dylan! Saw you were looking for Cleveland/OH chatter so I wanted to invite you to the next Cleveland virtual meetup. Here is a link. Would love to have you join in.  All the best!

Also, yes. I agree that you can still get great cash flow in CLE. We just have to adjust our definition of "great" in some instances. It's all relative. But compared to other options you can still win with cash flow in Cleveland. 

 Ohhhh! Super brave room hacker! I remember ;). See you on the 25th!

@Kay Clinton Congrats on making the leap! I would like to invite you to join our new Winning in Cleveland mastermind group and meet some other people who are also on this journey to gather information, share what's working and build community with others on the same path. If you're interested I posted the event in the real estate meetups and events section for Cleveland or you can inbox me directly if I can help in some other way. Best of luck to you!

Hey Bigger Pockets Community!

If you missed the Winning in Cleveland REI Mastermind kickoff on 8/11... well, you REALLY missed out. But good news! Another opportunity is coming your way. 

UP NEXT (Aug. 25th @ 8:30pm): "Winning Off Market in CLE!" Hear from wholesalers, successful investors and other SMEs about how to navigate off market deals in Cleveland. We will discuss market specific opportunities, strategies to overcome common pitfalls and how to source your own off market deals. Bring your questions, knowledge and wins to share. All are welcome. . 

Hope to see you there!
