Thanks @Anthony R. ! I currently reside in Lakewood so it’d be cool to get together if you’re still around in this area.

Maybe check out your Lakewood property and ask you some questions about the area, prices, and finance info. It sounds like you have gone many avenues to finance your deals.

@Michael Swan that’s awesome swanny! Any reason why you chose right here in NE ohio? San Diego is a hell of a ways from here haha

Read through your profile, that’s an amazing track record. I would love to pick your brain if you ever have the time. I just connected with @Mike Rosso so looking forward to talking with him more

@Mike Rosso yeah I have been analyzing many deals on the BP calculators to score my first deal. I have been adding in PMI to the calculator to account for it.

I’d love to reach out to you for some questions, some large some small for insight as it seems you have been doing this for some time now. Any reason why you prefer SF vs. MF?

@James Wise you got it man. Kamm’s sounds ideal as well. Where do you own property?

@Mike Rosso hey mike. That's exactly what I am thinking man. FHA sounds awesome aside from the annoying PMI charge 🙄

I see you’re out of Amherst. Do you have any investment properties?

@James Wise hey James thanks for the welcome! I am mostly interested in Lakewood, west Cleveland, west park, cudell, and better parks of Brooklyn.

Lakewood interests me the most because of the demand and long term tenants but some of the taxes are outrageous.

I have been on the MLS and seen some potential in the west park/cudell area with better taxes and prices. However, I am unfamiliar with the demand in comparison to Lakewood.

Hey everyone,

I joined BP about 1 month ago and have been soaking in all the info I can. Watching webinars, became a PRO member, reading forums in my spare time and listening to podcasts during my drive time.

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new investor in the Cleveland, Ohio market. I am primarily trying to get my investing career started with a House Hack deal (duplex or greater). This way I can lower my cost of housing and gain capital to save in effort to look for my second deal.

I have lots of questions in terms of financing and renovations to gain equity. I am looking for fellow investors with helpful hints or willing to meetup in the Cleveland market.

I look forward to hearing back from some other members.

Thanks!

Zach

Thanks for all the responses and DMs! I have already received plenty of information and even more connections from you all. It’s great having people who are already established reach out to those who are just starting out.

If any of you guys know of any local meet ups coming up in the near future please let me know. I would love to hit the ground running after the holidays. I am eager to get my foot in the market and business

Hey all, New to the site and new to investing within the Cleveland market. Would like to connect and network with fellow Cleveland investors, realtors, wholesalers and buyers. I am a newbie however, I have been studying for the better part of 6 months using YouTube and bigger pockets resources. I am anxious to do my first deal. Shoot me a DM, friend request or simply reply back to the post. I’d love to meet up, chat and potentially set up some partnerships for the better of both of us. Look forward to speaking with you. Zach
