This event is an informal networking and deal-making MeetUp of Cleveland area Real Estate Investors. 100% Networking, no pitches or presentations.
• Do you have a deal or are you looking for one?
• Do you have a vendor or contractor to recommend or are you looking for one?
• Are you looking to learn best practices from those who are currently doing it?
We are all looking to build our businesses and grow our investments.
Please come and bring your experience as well as your questions. There is no structure to the event, so you will be free to meet, listen or ask questions of the other attendees.
This is a free event that grew out of the desire of local investors to get together to trade experiences, references and to try to solve problems with their investing. We felt that other area investor meetings were more focused on pitching or presenting, leaving little time to interact with the other attendees.

Talk with a good amount of attorneys and title companies. Tell them what your experience level is and what your goal is - be up front. If they can't or don't want to help ask for a referral. Explore BP.
Off market is key these days.
Good Luck!

Make a few phone calls to Title Companies in your area to and ask a ton of questions. Most likely, you will come across one or two that will work with you on the Land Contract. Sounds like a good deal just keep the ball moving forward. Good Luck!

@Brad Tisdale I’m in the same boat, have an off market duplex in site but can’t really justify using much of my own money to invest as the property isn’t really in duress. It’s well
Maintained so I can really force appreciation, the rents can be increased incrementally. The search for private money continues, good luck.
