Investing in NorthEast Ohio

[Tre' Carpenter]

I am new to BP and have been shocked by the amount of useful articles and information being shared here to the point it has basically consumed my life the past couple days, but I am not complaining. Long story short, I have been doing residential real estate in the Las Vegas market for the past 5 years and have also done a couple fix and flip/fix and hold side projects along the way. However, I have been kicking around the opportunity to return home to NorthEast Ohio and continue investing my time and money into Real Estate. 

I plan on traveling back to Ohio next month to begin driving around and getting reacquainted with the neighborhoods and the different markets NorthEast Ohio has to offer. This far I been looking into Green, Uniontown, Mogadore and the surrounding areas, is anyone familiar or currently investing in these areas and would like to share any feedback? I have also looked into the suburbs of Cleveland but I am not as familiar with that area, yet I would be open to learning if it is worth it. Ideally I would like to fix and flip a couple properties to increase my working capital(currently about 100k) then transition into fix and holds and rental properties.  

I am also interested in building a network in Ohio as I make the transition, If you live, work or invest in NorthEast Ohio I would love to connect with you!

@James Wise Did the BP rules change?...maybe for moderators? I thought we weren't permitted to self-promote here....so I get flagged when I request a PM from someone that wants to invest in my city and you can post a tool you developed to generate leads for your business...hmmmm...

 You are permitted to link to a blog on BP that is for informational purposes, whether it is your own or someone else's blog. The guide you're referring to does not direct anyone to work with Holton-Wise as it is for informational purposes only, and is further the opinion of the author. If it did not meet posting criteria, it would have already been taken down as advertising, and if he had posted "PM me for deals" that would be removed like anything else. 

In short, there's nothing to see here.

 Brandon Brandon Brandon.........For the record I hung up the Moderator badge a long time ago. I've got no more say in the forum rules around here than you do.

As JD (who is a Moderator)  laid out the rules in the post above I would encourage you to worry less about me & spend more time creating educational and informative content. This website is a gold mine for those looking to build a Real Estate Investment business. There is no greater platform for you to demonstrate your expertise in the Real Estate Investment space than Bigger Pockets. All you've got to do is give the community high quality content the community will pay you back tenfold. I've made several million dollars because of the content I have posted on this site. The website is filled with tons of people want to deal with experts, if you are one show the community. Educate 1st and the rest will follow.

So the real question is why are you here talking to me about my grading scale of Cleveland neighborhoods when you could be in another thread demonstrating your knowledge of the neighborhoods in Columbus?
