My name is Zachary Clary. I am 21 years old. I am attending Florida Atlantic University for soccer to go pro while also getting my degree in business. I have zero experience in real-estate, but I do not want to have a 9-5 be my main source of income. I found wholesaling and maybe house hacking to look like a good start.

We provide a great value to investors but sometimes they don't seem open to new opportunities. What approach works best on you?


 Yes. Cold callers are obnoxious.

Quote from @Mohamed Barry:

HI all i am exploring flipping homes next year. My target market right now is Cleveland, Ohio. Just going over the recently sold homes on Zillow and other sites, i am seeing a lot of homes being purchased for 20-30 k and sold for 150k plus. I am also seeing a large inventory of these cheaper 20-30 k homes. I am reading some books, and doing my education. But i would love to connect with flippers who have been successful with purchasing homes in around 20-50k and successfully flipping them for profit. Even if you dont have flipping experience in Cleveland i would still love to get in touch and hear about your experiences. Thank you. 


 What's in it for the Flipper if they reach out to you?

Which cities do you think would be best to invest in and are set for growth over the next 5 years?


 Saw Cleveland got mentioned. If you're looking at Cleveland give The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods a read. It's designed to help out of state investors keep themselves out of trouble.

How left leaning is she?

Competence should take precedence over fox news style tribalism. 
That being said, she comes across as a center left democrat, in a very blue city. 
compared to the current housing court judge,  she's practically MAGA

 What are her thoughts on that Dingleberry Mayor Justin Bibb?

Quote from @Harry Shin:

Hello, I live in Seattle, WA. The market here is very expensive and mainly focused in building ADUs and appreciation. As this will be my first out of state investment, I'm looking to do more turnkey/light renovations, class B- or better neighborhoods, and focused on monthly cashflow rather than appreciation. Will be doing mostly cash. I know this is a unicorn of a buy box but any help would be great. Focused in Michigan or Ohio as I'm original from there, but any wisdom would be great!


 1st thing I'd do is look at The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods. This will give you an idea of what is and is not actually a B-Class neighborhood. Biggest mistake out of state investors who come to the Cleveland Ohio market make is thinking they are buying B when they aren't.

I'm interested in researching Cleveland market for long term investment and potentially Section 8 rentals as an OOS investor.  (SFH <$150k or Duplex/multi <200k in C neighborhoods) w cash flows and appreciations

Looking forward to learn more about:

- Narrow down to a specific zip codes/neighborhoods

- Experienced real estate agents with OOS clients

- Inspectors who can provide detailed videos and pictures as I won't be viewing the property in person

- Lenders experienced with investor friendly loans

- Reliable property managers experienced with OOS investors and Section 8 rentals

Appreciate your insight and looking forward to connecting! :)
