Hey Jack - I've done a good amount of research on this and apparently onlinejobs.ph is where you will find the best and most cost effective VA's. I am also personally looking into hiring a VA and would love to connect to see how it goes for each of us.

One of the best tips I got from the videos is to include a random phrase in the middle of your job description that says "use the word blueberries in your first sentence when applying for the job". This way you can see who actually took the time to read your entire description and who is detail oriented enough to catch the slightly hidden request. 

Here are some links to the best videos I've watched on how to successfully vet, hire and onboard a VA:

Hi Esteban! I'm an investor focused agent here in Cleveland and have a few very solid referrals for PM's. In general I could also (of course) advise on the area you are considering investing in. 

You can also always check out the graded map of Cleveland neighborhoods: https://www.biggerpockets.com/... 

Hi Mitchell- my team specializes in helping investors navigate Cleveland area real estate. Our current listings include a 9 unit in Akron, as well as a 36 and 24 unit in Lorain. Would love to connect to understand more about what you are looking to get done. 

 Hi Henry - depending on the cosmetic condition of the unit- in Lakewood it could easily rent for $1400+... One investor I know just rented their newly renovated 2 bed 1 bath downstairs unit for $2150 a month. 

 Hey Mike- sorry for the delayed response- the real estate specific CPA I would recommend is Gary Lash - 216 406-7986

Hi Melissa- I have a few recommendations I could share for lending and PM. I am an investor focused agent and have mostly all the contacts you would need to successfully invest here in CLE :)

Hey Robert- when do you leave tomorrow? I would love to connect and show you some properties that you could house hack in the area. I have sent a message to connect 

Hi Briana! There's a few different spots you could consider investing in. The main bread and butter of Cleveland investments is mostly on the "West side". This is where you will have great rent to price ratios and decent C and B class neighborhoods. 

The main zip code you will want to consider is 44111- this zip is still part of Cleveland proper and the neighborhoods within this zip are Cudell, West Boulevard, Jefferson and Bellaire-Puritas (all of these different areas are labeled on google maps). 

Kamms Corner and Old Brooklyn are slightly more desirable areas with slightly higher prices. With Lakewood being a premium rental area- where although the prices are quite high.. so are the rents. 

Maple Heights and Warrensville Heights have a lot of decent cheap single family homes that cashflow well. 

I am an investor focused agent here in Cleveland and would love to help narrow down your search based on a more specific buy box.
