Hello, my name is Clarence Harvey, i have made a few posts on the forum before. I did want to reach out and see if anyone knows of any investor meetups or fairs in the cleveland--cuyahoga area. I am looking to start my real estate journey within the next year and would love to network and create connections in order to further my journey.

I will be house-hacking my first property by age 26 (I am 24) and looking to scale up relatively quickly, but getting an understanding from a network of investors would be amazing. If anyone wants to connect please let me know. i am also looking to engage in investor meet ups!

I personally love the Cleveland market for its cash flow. I invest heavily in this area as an agent. I grew up on the east side of the town with a well versed knowledge of the neighborhood. I am happy to send you my neighborhood grade map to help you get started. Let me know how I can help Clarence!

Thank you! I’ve messaged you
willing to soak up any knowledge I can. I want to be able to build a portfoliorelatively quickly, yet safely. As well as focus on cash flow

Cleveland is a popular market for real estate investors, especially those planning house hacking, rentals, and BRRRR strategies. The affordable housing market and diverse neighborhoods make it easy to enter. For house hacking, consider multi-family properties or single-family homes with additional units. Leverage FHA or conventional loans with low down payments.

Good luck!

Thank you! I do appreciate the information

Are DSCR Loans a good idea in this area ? ( Cleveland ) I'd like to see how others are gaining properties so quickly instead of saving up 20% each time.
what are my options to avoid having to save up 20% each time for a down payment

Hi Clarence, welcome to the BiggerPockets community! I'm excited to hear about your real estate journey. I started with a house hack myself when I moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH. Purchased my own rentals and grew my portfolio to over 7 figures. You might also want to consider the Columbus market. Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

We can absolutely connect! I plan on extending my wings far and wide in terms of location. If you’re willing
I’d like to be able to soak up information and recieve some motivation through our conversations! This has been my dream since I was 19! Any experience and knowledge will help me help others

Quote from @Clarence Harvey:

Why moving to Cleveland? Is your main goal to house-hack or are you looking to do BRRRR?

The goal is to house hack! However I do want to build quite the portfolio and dabble in other strategies but I’ve done the most research on house hacking! I’m open to other strategies, not at the very beginning though. Not without knowledge/experience
