New investor to the Cleveland Ohio area

[Rob DeLaurentis]

I am new to investing in RE and trying to get my portfolio off the ground by starting in the Cleveland market.  I am out of state, and my local area (in Boston) creates a much larger barrier to entry, so I have been researching areas of the country that might enable me to start to build my portfolio sooner.  I am zeroing in on the Cleveland metro area because from what I can tell, there is great potential in seemingly reasonable property prices as well as attractive rents.  I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for resources in the area to assist in finding turnkey properties?  I have found what appears to be attractive numbers in areas like Cleveland Heights, but I would love to pick the brain of a local with some experience.  Thanks in advance for any insight.

I can personally vouch for James Wise and the Holton Wise team. I personally flew out to Cleveland a couple of months back and looked at properties with different agents from different companies. I purposely wanted to look at properties with Holton-Wise because they they were one of the companies that does Property management AND has excellent Real Estate Agents. They did not disappoint.

I would highly recommend them. If you want to PM me I'll let you know which of his agents I looked at properties with over there.
