Building a team for the Cleveland/Columbus/Akron area

[Zachary Luchs]

Hi, I am new to real estate investing and have narrowed down my markets to the Cleveland, Columbus and Akron. I am an OOS investor and looking for a team to help with my investments. I am looking for a property manager/management firm (ideally a firm that handles properties in all three cities so I can expand in the future) and a real estate agent that also deal with real estate investing (I need them to be able to understand/perform property analysis and not just throw every single listing at me). Please let me know if you have contacts/worked with people in the area in the past or if you your self are one of these. I would love to connect and talk about our goals and possibly making some deals. Thank you so much!

 You're not gonna find anyone who manages in all 3 cities. Columbus area is 2+ hours away from the Cleveland and Akron area. Cleveland / Akron you'll be able to get one property manager. Columbus you'd need another one.

Another thing you'll probably want to do is read The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods. This will really help you get a firm understanding of the Cleveland market.
