I'm a couple months away from seriously looking into lenders for pre-approval. As I am looking for lending for my first multi-family purchase, what are good lenders in the Cleveland area to maybe reach out to? I'm looking for some down-payment assistance and first-time buyer programs, looking to do a house hack on a duplex.
I'm looking to move to Cleveland within the year and get my foot in the door with real estate. If house hacking isn't the best option for me, how would you recommend starting out to build up some investments. The BRRRR method? I don't have a lot of time or bandwidth to invest in a fixer-upper and I would like something with limited work.

Hi all,
I will soon be moving to Cleveland, OH and either renting or buying in the surrounding area with my future spouse. I have about 20,000 saved and will be looking to make an investment in the following year. I would like to use this life adjustment as a catalyst for my entrance into real-estate. Is there any advice that I could receive in this being my first-real estate investment?
Would it be best to buy or rent in the surrounding Cleveland area? I would like to start generating some passive-income and start with some residential properties in my initial portfolio.

Greetings,
I found out about BiggerPockets through the book 'How to Invest in Real Estate', I'm definitely interested in learning more. I've heard a lot of good things about this forum and I'm excited to be a part of it. I am a recent graduate of Penn State University, and currently reside in Bethlehem, PA
