Cleveland/Akron Multi-Family

[Brian Blake]

New long distance investor that grew up in NE Ohio seeking to make multi-family investments in the Cleveland/Akron area. A few questions for those in the area: 1) Any key brokers I should meet from the area? 2) Who are the most reliable property management firms in the area? One additional question for anyone: 3) What are the key cost items you include in your multi-family valuation model? I've reviewed a number of P&Ls from properties in the area and it seems like some expenses (e.g. insurance) are missing from some properties, so want to make sure I evaluate everything apples to apples.
