@Carlo C.  There are a few good, active apartment brokers on this site.  Good Luck!

@Stefen Lee If you are still in search of a good contractor for East Cleveland please feel free to PM me. I have a good, trustworthy contact that has completed several apartment building renovations in this area exclusively. Good luck!

Lots of great information here @Ben Kiss  Welcome to the site!  I hope to run into you soon.  

@Michael Roeder  I am sure that BP will be of great assistance to you. Good Luck!

@Martin Z. I have had several clients and prospects ask about the meaning or recognize its value. It gives you a great opportunity to (sell yourself) explain the value behind it while further solidifying you as the expert. Of course most folks are not initially aware of it's meaning but in the age of searching the net on who you are dealing with, it's value is quickly identified. 

@Brian Whelan I am sure you can gain similar knowledge from a variety of sources. It's like studying to pass a driving exam, you can read about it from a variety of sources but your better suited to go to a specific driving class, learn, and have your knowledge tested along the way. Not a waste of time, money or resources at all. Start with the Intro class and determine if it is for you. It is a great start and you will be networking with like minded folks. You do not need to register in the program or pay a large fee to attend Intro. 

@Brian Whelan Without a doubt. The knowledge alone was worth all the time, effort and money. The "status" and or credibility was a bonus. You can't go wrong. +1 CCIM designation

Welcome to BP! @Kevin Saunders  Are you currently practicing law at a firm in Akron?  I am curious to hear more about your day job!  

@Heather Henriques  There has been a significant amount of out of state investment made in this area. The rental market is strong and is majority subsidy / voucher based. Many out of state investors are speculating on the gradual improvement of this area while realizing high yields with high risk / high reward properties.  While it is generally not for the novice investor, I continue to watch properties perform very well and produce great returns. Good Luck!

@Reid Armor  +1 to the CCIM education.  Welcome to BP and I wish you luck on your Multi-family conquest!
