I put together this guide awhile back for myself and thought I'd share!

Great guide BP.

Please let me know if one or a couple of realtors would be up to chatting with me and dedicating some time to be our investment tour guides in Cleveland. 

“The Complete Guide to Investing in Real Estate Tax Liens & Deeds” by Alan Northcott – more of a reference-style book, but it covers both liens and deeds in a pretty comprehensive way.I also found this website that might interest you. 

While optimal, maximum ROI is a prime objective, many clients are seeking to off-set second home costs or satisfy leveraged liability over the long term, but intentions can help guide and direct the 'shopping' process.

Most first-timers get tripped up by underestimating rehab costs or taking on too much at once.Since you’re targeting 2026, use this time to build your team—agent, lender, contractor, CPA—so you’re not scrambling once you find the right deal.

That obviously doesn't work for someone coming from Atlanta or Nashville but I know our (my family) day trips into PFSG have fallen way off the last few years. 

Good rental record, 8 solid reviews with previous trips to our market. 3:45 checks in, 4:15 asks us to call as they have to cancel.

This really is a great market, but there are a few local requirements that often surprise people after they close.If you’re investing here, make sure you’re familiar with:Lead Safe Certification for pre-1978 rentals (this trips people up a lot and is the most time consuming)The city’s Local Agent in Charge requirement if you’re not localRental registration requirements for LLCs This is in no way trying to scare anyone off — I have seen too many happy investors become frustrated when there is a delay getting the property on the market.
