Quote from @Tim Lyons:

I may be relocating there for work, and was considering buying a multi-family home to live in while I rent the other unit out. 

I don't have a lot of money, $140K is my max. There is plenty to buy well under $100K but the neighborhoods likely aren't the greatest. 

Can anyone suggest any areas surrounding Cleveland where there is minimal blight, and $140K will get you into a fairly clean neighborhood?

Hi there, 


I am beginner investor in residential properties and i thought it would be a better idea to go into commercial properties for a higher return. However, there is more risk involved with commercial and I need an agent who can find good deals and guide me through this process.

Looking to expand my portfolio across the country and really want a short term rental in Columbus. If anyone could tel me what the market is like out there and where are the best areas (most recommend) to buy a sort term rental property 


Hey Enrique! As a resident and investor in Columbus, I can attest to the fact that investing in the suburbs here is a wise choice. It is a thriving city that is attracting several major companies, which will bring in thousands of job opportunities in the next few months and years. This, in turn, is driving population growth, with an annual increase of 0.75%. Employment growth is also on the rise, with a yearly increase of 3.58%. Rent prices in Columbus have also gone up by 6% each year. Let me know how I can help and would be happy to chat more with you regarding the subject!

Quote from @Neil DeZort:

Hey all! My wife and I are preparing to start our real estate investing journey in the next year. We live in a super high cost of housing area in NW Montana so we are thinking we need to be looking at long-distance investing for the time being. I've been eyeing Cleveland as a potential market to start out in. I will be out in Cleveland on March 24th for work and am looking to make contact with reputable property management companies and/or investor focused real estate agents while I'm in town. Does anyone have any good contacts I could reach out to?

Also, we aren't married to Cleveland as our final market yet. It just initially seemed to make sense based on the availability of properties, the cost of entry as a new investor, and work taking me out there occasionally. If anyone has any reason for us to avoid the Cleveland market or has any suggestions for any other markets that would be good for me to start researching I am open to any suggestions and/or advice in that regard as well.

Thanks!!

Hey Neil! I think your head is in the right place looking to invest out of state! Cleveland is recognized for its lucrative cash flow prospects but if you're also considering property appreciation, Columbus is the way to go. In addition to still offering 1% deals, Columbus is also an expanding city that is attracting several major companies in the near future, thereby creating numerous job openings. I personally concentrate my investment efforts in the Columbus area and my team and I have a network of property managers, general contractors, and lenders etc. that I strongly recommend. If you're keen on identifying a profitable neighborhood to invest in, let's connect and discuss how I can aid you!

Quote from @Vannel Dzigba:

Hello BP Nation, 

Glad to be starting my REI journey. I have 2 situations here and would be delighted to have input on these:

1. House Hacking - I have just closed on a new build in Littleton (South-West Denver). The plan is to be in one room and rent out the two other rooms. Are there any property managers here who would love to jump on board to take complete control of the screening/rental/management processes. I usually have a busy dschedule and would want to outsource this. Any leads are welcome.

2. Midwest REI - I'm looking to make some cash purchases in the Midwest. The focus, for now, is on good cash-flowing properties - Multifamily units preferred. Currently looking at Cleveland, but open to other options. Looking forward to hearing from Wholesalers & Agents with great deals/leads.

Let's do this!

Hey Vannel! Cleveland is truly known for its strong cash flow potential. But if you're also searching for appreciation, Columbus is the place to be. There are still 1% deals but the more attractive part is Columbus is an expanding city, with several significant companies relocating to the area in the near future, resulting in an abundance of new job opportunities.
I personally focus my investments in the Columbus area and have a network of property managers, general contractors, lenders etc. that I would highly recommend. If you're interested in identifying a good neighborhood to invest in, let's connect and explore how I can assist you!

Quote from @Tan Pham:

My name is Tan from Seattle and I am new to real estate investing. I am interested in purchasing my first property and I am reaching out to you for your expert advice.

I am looking for a good market to invest in that offers both decent cash flow and high appreciation potential. While I am considering investing in North Carolina, I am open to other options throughout the United States.

I am specifically interested in a safe neighborhood with a growing economy and population. Based on your experience and knowledge, can you recommend any cities in North Carolina or the United States that may fit these criteria?

Any insights or advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I understand that investing in real estate can be a complex process, but I am eager to learn and make an informed decision.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.


Hi Tan! Why don't you give the Columbus, OH market a shot? As a resident and investor in Columbus, I can attest to the fact that investing in the suburbs here is a wise choice.

Quote from @Brian Plajer:

Hello,  

I'm considering investing in Cleveland Ohio as it seems the properties are cheap and will cashflow. I am located in PA and trying to learn what I can remotely and would really appreciate some feedback from those already investing there. I know there are many neighborhoods and looking for some general experiences. thanks!


Hey Brian! Cleveland is truly known for its strong cash flow prospect. Choosing the right neighborhood is key though, I can provide you with a general overview. On the other hand, if you are also interested in property appreciation, Columbus would be the perfect choice. This city is experiencing rapid growth, with many large companies planning to move to the area in the next few months, which will result in an influx of new residents and a wealth of job openings. I hope this information is helpful, and I would be delighted to discuss the topic further with you!
