This might be common knowledge but is there an average rent per square foot for single family that I could assume for quick estimates while looking for deals? Example 3-2 single family 1450 square feet. Is it $1/foot? $1.50/foot?  I'm in Ohio so I know LA and NYC would be way different. 

Looking for a Committed Agent in Cleveland & San Antonio for Long-Term Investment

Hey BiggerPockets community!

I’m a real estate investor from Israel actively looking to purchase rental properties in Cleveland and San Antonio. My goal is to build a strong, cash-flowing portfolio, including both traditional rentals and Section 8 properties.

I’m searching for a serious and dedicated agent who is committed to a long-term, fruitful partnership. Someone with integrity, motivation, and a solid network to help me acquire and scale efficiently.

I’m open to various investment strategies, including:

Cash purchases for immediate rental income

BRRRR deals to recycle capital and scale quickly

Portfolio acquisitions for accelerated growth

I’m ready to move quickly on the right opportunities. If you’re an agent with experience in these markets, or if you have strong recommendations, I’d love to connect and discuss potential deals.

Let’s build something great together!

Drop a comment or DM me – looking forward to hearing from you!

I am not new to buying primary residences, but am to investments and secondary properties.

I’m looking in the Middletown/dayton burbs at places now, but I live on the east coast.  We have family there and visit often.

our realtor is only using active listings as comps. I’ve told her I’ve never heard of a buyers agent solely relying on active listings to gauge value for an offer.  A mix of sold/pending/active? Sure, ok. But three active listings and NONE were real comps? What?

Looking at a listed two bed but it’s only one bed (barely- the only legal bedroom is 12x7) legally bungalow.  Other room they call a bedroom is 63 sqft and unusable as a habitable bedroom due to layout and below 70 sqft. Priced at 100k, on market 58 days.  Not completely updated. No appliances.  Systems unknown age. Yard needs TLC. Looks to have some fascia board rot that’ll need to be addressed.

Sold comps within 45 days in this area tell me similar 2 beds sold between 70 and 85k. ALL sold for under list- one was listed at 139,900 and sold for 98.  None were less than 5k under list when sold. 

the market is trending upwards looking at pending sales but we don’t know what they are under contract for, which is problematic given what we know about the closed properties in Jan and Feb.

 My Realtor seems to think the price is justified by sending me three homes active listings as “comps”- one in another town 220 sqft bigger), one legitimate 3 bedroom with a half acre of land and a garage (vs 0.1 acres no garage and no off street parking), and one (have to chuckle) a brand new home essentially- completely 100% renovated inside and out, 150 sqft bigger all new systems. 

There are a minimum of 20 real comps. I sent her 8 within 45 days. I’m told I “don’t understand their market and houses are holding value here”

Am I missing something?

Does anyone happen to have any leads on any properties that might make a good STR hitting the market within the next two weeks in northern Ohio (Ashtabula through Sandusky)? Preferably something that is renovated on the interior, where I could focus on adding exterior amenities. Aiming for around 350k max.

Hey everyone, 

I’m a realtor and small business owner (senior home health agency) in Columbus with a strong background in cold calling and prospecting (tens of thousands of calls, maybe more lol). I have all 5 star reviews and am extremely detail oriented with my properties  

To be frank I've been grinding for a long time, but not building wealth and legacy for my family. I spent like a dummy and lived commission to commission. I've always wanted to get into the asset and growth game, but don't know where to start. As an aside I have expertise in senior care which is pretty cool and makes me interested in 55+ housing there is such a need for socialized group living. Not even assisted living just shared housing for seniors who are simply lonely.  I digress...

I and am looking to grow my network with other like-minded investors and hard workers and professionals who are focused on building both character and wealth. While I enjoy the hustle of real estate sales, my true goal is building a legacy for my family and helping others do the same.

Win-win is the goal!

If you’re interested in sharing wisdom, exploring opportunities, or just connecting over growth and strategy, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn from you and see how we can support each other’s success.

Looking forward to connecting!

Hi all my name is Jose I live in Queens NY and I've been following BP for a few years now but just now came around now to join the BP forum. I am a beginner investor with a not much experience but looking to learn.  I invest in the neighboring state of New Jersey and have 2 properties with a total of 4 units between the 2 and I am looking to scale. I came to a bit of a roadblock since I have been finding it a bit difficult to scale. My wife and I started investing in 2019 while growing our family at the same time. Now with 2 little ones we have been force to take on lower paying jobs to to make sure we can have decent schedules to accommodate the needs of the family. I know there are creative ways to scale since I have been listening to the BP podcasts so here I am ready to learn and ready to be part of this great community.

Thanks for having me.

Hi folks, new investor for the area of Houston. Wanted to get a feel of multi family opportunities and single family homes. I know investing in Houston is tricky. 

I am an out of state first time investor from Puerto Rico. I am looking for a great property manager to collaborate with in order to make this investment a total success. 

Hey everyone, here's my quick intro: I live in Calabasas, CA and I'm moving to the PNW this summer. I sold my company two years ago and I'm looking for investment opportunities in the real estate space, specifically single-family houses. I have a lot more research to do before being comfortable with apartment buildings, duplexes, etc, but I'm exploring that as well.

if there's any must-have resource I should look into or consider please let me know. 

thanks!

Howdy! My name is Logan and I am wanting to get into real estate investing and saw that this would be a good place to start!
