I am open at the moment.  My initial plan was to manage the first 1 or 2 myself to learn a bit more about the process, and then hire a management company.  Similarly, I planned to do a majority of the work for my first couple of flips with my partner to learn a bit about it before contracting out the work.

Thoughts on that strategy is that I could learn a bit about the process, albeit at the expense of time per flip/rent, then have a plan in place to scale the business afterward. 

I am open to suggestions and/or other opportunities as well

Than you @Timothy Murphy III

@Tom Ott

I have not yet begun to look off market.  I am currently looking into ways to do so.  I have been thinking about a strategy to enter that market.

Thank you Phil.  I am having a hard time finding any solid leads.  I seem to be late on all of them.

Thank you William

Hello, 

My name is Dave Raney. I am new to both Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Investment in general. I am looking to get into both flips and buy and holds. I have been looking for my first deal for the last 3 months, but the homes I have been interested in have sold for significantly more than my parameters allow. I have been listening to the podcast daily, and have put together criteria based on the 2% and 70% rules. I understand these are just guidelines. Any information on how to break into this hot market would be greatly appreciated. 

I am targeting the west suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio (Brook Park, Middleburg Hts, Parma, Parma Hts, Strongsville, North Ridgeville, North Royalton, Brunswick, Columbia Station) 

I work a normal 9 to 5 M-F.  My goal is to eventually quit my job and focus on real estate full time.  I have purchased 2 personal homes, so I have some experience in the home purchasing process.  

Thank you for your time.  I am excited to meet more people in the real estate business.
