Hello

I am new to Cleveland and I am thinking to diversify my real estate portfolio by testing out medium term strategy for the travel nurses in Cleveland around Cleveland Clinic. Any recommendations on areas to avoid or be careful given high crime rates around Downtown and East Cleveland? Any contacts in setting a good team of contractors (general purpose) and cleaners?

Hi BP Community, 

As one of my 2025 resolutions, I would like to acquire 100 doors this year. We primarily focus on residential multi-family and so far we have stayed in the Western Mass area. Now I'm looking to expand to other states. Can you please share any information on properties or markets where you are that can help guide my search? I'm open to properties were cap rate is around 10%+ and Return on Cash is 10%-20%. 

Any suggestions?

I'm interested in buying a specific piece of land in Ohio. I'm currently abroad, and look for someone who can, for a fee, perfom all due dilifgence for me - call the city building departments, find out about any restrictions. I'm not sure if it's a civil engineer, land acquisition planner... Area is Maple Heights. 

Hello all! I'm new to BiggerPockets and I'm a new investor. I'm currently trying to build my list of interview questions that I would/could use when it comes to screening and finding the right Real Estate Agent. I already have a few questions on my list and I was wondering if any investors have any interesting questions or strategies of how they may find a great agent. Thank you for your time and patience!

Considering the following cities in OH to invest in Section 8 Housing:

• - Akron
• - Dayton
• - Toledo
• - Youngstown
• - Canton

For those of you with experience here, can you share the average cost for a single-family house (3 bedrooms +) and the net profit per property per month for Section 8?

Looking for properties under 100k where the net profit per property per month is at least $500. 

Hi All, I'm looking for a property manager for a duplex near downtown Columbus, Ohio.  Anyone have any recommendations?  Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I'm new to real estate investing. My husband and I are interested in growing our wealth to make work optional w/in 5-10 years.  We are targeting buying our first property this year, ideally a duplex/triplex/quadplex for a long term rental. I currently live in Olympia, WA (high cost of living, and not very landlord friendly state), so plan to invest out of state. At this time I'm focusing on researching markets in the midwest (Indianapolis, IN; OH) due to the lower property costs. I'm looking for something that's at least cash flow neutral and will appreciate. I'd love to connect with others who are investing in these markets, as well as agents, property managers and investor-friendly lenders. I'm happy to provide insights on western Washington, as we have lived in Seattle, Tacoma, and now Olympia. 

Looking forward to connecting!

I created a heat map showing the population changes in each state over the past five years (2020–2024).

The states experiencing the largest population increases are Florida, Texas, Utah, Arizona, and South Carolina. On the other hand, the states with the most significant population declines are New York, Illinois, and California.

For Real Estate investors. How do you think these trends will affect them in the states with declining populations? Should they be concern?

And how might they impact the investors in states experiencing substantial growth?

If it is, what kind of investment?
