Hello Cleveland Investors and Landlords,

Would anyone have any recommendations for reliable contractors and handymen in the Cleveland, Ohio area? I have a single family investment property that I would like to have worked on whenever an issue were to occur! I hope to meet professionals who are great at communicating and doing an excellent job! 

All help is appreciated, thank you!

Hello Cleveland Investors and Landlords,

What do you think is an affordable price for getting your grass cut monthly by mowing/landscaping services? I have an investment property with a small front yard and average sized backyard. 

I also welcome your recommendations for landscapers in the Cleveland area!

Thank you

Hello Fellow Investors!

I plan on renting out my investment property in Cleveland, Ohio as a long term rental. I would like the system set up where the tenant pays for the utilities. After speaking with someone who is familiar with this market, I learned that you could have the tenant pay all the utilities except the water, the landlord would have pay for that. 

I wanted to know if this is something that is required all throughout Ohio or if this varies by city or property management company. All information and advice would be greatly appreciated! 

How have you set up your system? 

 Hi Jimmy, thanks for giving me your advice. I'm now getting a better understanding of the competition and regulations!

 AirDNA is very helpful for getting an understanding of how my property looks compared to others, thanks for this helpful advice!

Hi Mya, thanks for the recommending to look into the regulations. Also, being mindful of furnishing costs is definitely super important!

 Thanks for the insight on how to analyze my property! Will definitely take these things into consideration!

Hello All! 

I have an investment property in Cleveland, Ohio that I have considered using as a short term rental compared to having a long-term tenant. The property is located in an area that's close to resources, hospitals, and attractions. I know it's also a niche to invest to those who travel for work.

I wanted to get your thoughts and learn from those who went through this route. How has your experience been investing in this market or with this strategy? 

I also welcome things I should know and mistakes you may be open to share so I can have a better idea of what to expect. 

What short term rental platforms/sites have worked well for you that I should consider posting the property on? Thank you!

Hello fellow real estate people!

I would like some advice on how you've scaled your real estate business from single family properties to larger multi-family properties. After finishing a single family deal, I learned that I now want to work on deals that are more lucrative. I see myself investing in large multi-family and apartments, with other investors too! I know there are deals out there but I'm aware that they're not always posted on the MLS and aren't as easy to find. Areas I like to invest are in the Northeast side of the country (I currently invest in Cleveland, OH).

I would appreciate any information on how to find these type of properties and how to approach this type of real estate investing, thank you!

 I appreciate your wise words, thank you Nathan!
