Cleveland Real Estate Investors

[Emi Augustin]

Hey BP community. I am new to the Northeast Ohio area, and looking to network and meet up with fellow investors in Ohio. I and my partner are very interested in this market, and would definitely like to build strong relations here since I have moved my family to Cleveland. Also looking to connect with folks in the columbus and Dayton areas as well!

Maybe our REIA's are unique in Ohio as they are not individually owned/directed. All of our chapters are aligned and under a state level association with our boards, conventions, and even lobbyist to represent us in Columbus. Once you join one chapter you are automatically entitled to participate in any chapter in the state, which is great as many of us invest in different areas. They are run like most professional associations, which really makes it a friendly community. It's certainly a group that I am extremely happy to participate in, it's how I got started back in the early 90's, long before the internet was useful. Most of our meetings are held on zoom/gotomeeting right now, but some of the subgroups are meeting in person. We have weekly breakfasts, landlord groups, private lender groups, multifamily, wholesalers, and others. I can't see why an active investor in Ohio wouldn't join one - very well worth the annual couple hundred dollars.
