Hello,  I am looking for my next multi family investment in Ohio. I am looking for recommendations for realtor/property management teams in the Ohio area - Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron, Columbus, Etc. 

Hi all,

I am interested in getting into real estate investing. I am currently in my early 20's, have a well paying W2, and would like to begin investing immediately. I am interested in and focused on mid-term rentals and am looking to invest in other markets outside of my current location mainly due to high purchase prices. I have begun reading David Greene's Long-Term Real Estate Investing to ensure I do this properly.

What types of data should I be looking at before choosing a market for mid-term rentals? Should I focus on attracting one target audience or multiple target audiences?

Any and all advice is very much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have listened to Bigger Pockets for quite some time now and finally decided to get on here because I current own a home in California, but I want to buy a 2nd house out of state. I was thinking Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, or Michigan. If anyone else has suggestions on states they have rental properties and is working well, please let me know. I would like to start buying a rental property in early 2024. I just wanted to get started to choose a state, starting looking at it more and hopefully start to talk to get approved for a loan and start to talk to a real estate agent. 

Thanks,
Miguel Suarez

Hi! My fiance and I are planning our post-wedding strategy and REI investing is a core part of our strategy. While we're open to new ideas, we've honed in on our targets markets of Huntsville (AL), Columbus (OH), Milwaukee (WI), and Detroit (MI). Open to other ideas if you think we're missing a promising market!

In Huntsville we're looking at SFR but currently exploring if MF in the other markets make the most sense. Generally targeting C/B properties in B neighborhoods. Looking to learn more about those markets and connect with potential partners there to develop our strategy.

We have ~$50k to deploy initially but plan to make 1-2 investments each year (maybe more) for the coming years.

Thanks for any guidance and looking forward to connecting!

Hi, I have read posts in a number of forums about section 8 investing in Cleveland. I am a newcomer to the real estate investment scene in the US (moved here in the pandemic), and I wanted to connect with anyone that has experience with Section 8 investments in Cleveland particularly. I am interested in looking at out of state investment opportunities as the high cost of living in NJ really does make it very investor friendly at the moment. I’m looking for information from experienced investors about areas within other cities & states that are promising for such investments. I'm absolutely clueless, and am looking for anyone who is willing to share their experiences, advice, or point me towards resources that could help in understanding the market better. I would be immensely grateful if you could share your insights on what would be absolutely crucial & invaluable to me as I take my first steps on this journey. Thanks so much in advance!

Hello everyone, 

I am looking to purchase my first investment property this year and am having some trouble deciding on a market. I know to look for areas that are landlord friendly, have population/job growth, limited seasonal/environmental issues, high rent/price ratio, and areas within my budget (under $200Kish). However, my issues run into seeing a few markets that look good and then I can't seem to finalize my decision on which is better or where to really focus my time searching. So far I've been interested in Cleveland, Columbus, Birmingham, and Memphis. 

Am I missing anything in my criteria? Does anyone have a system they use to filter through the endless available markets and narrow down your options to something a bit more manageable? Any words of wisdom are welcomed too!

I currently have a SFH in 43219 that I am looking to rehab and convert into a long-term rental. In the process of using a quitclaim deed to put it under an LLC and empty the property of personal belongings. Now creating a list of General Contractors that I can seek to lead the rehab and happily bring them more business afterwards by referring them to a network of real estate agents and investors.

Q: Could you send me information on some respected General Contractor that you have worked with? I would like to bring them business!

I have 20 plus years experience in sales. I am tired of starting all over ever year without building any equity. Looking to break into the local market with Multifamily homes. In addition need to do it part time. I really only have nights and Sundays to work it. Also in this day an age I am thinking this can be done remotely buying and holding property in other states. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi All,

I am interested in multi family (2-4 units), If you have 200k to invest, what market and why would you invest?\

Thanks,

Hello everyone. I'm excited to join the BiggerPockets family. I have my LLC (with my business partner) and we are looking to invest in properties to rent to Section 8. Any information/advice is appreciated and also how to properly set up our company, how to eventually scale our portfolio and looking to learn more about funding and DSCR loan. I listen to the Bigger podcast. I'm currently reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, and have the following books to read: The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner and Section 8 Bible.
