I would look in Shaker Heights.  Very high property taxes, but really nice area to live and rent out half a duplex or something like that. There are some really sketchy areas in Cleveland for Multifamily, especially to house hack.  Be careful!!

I attend the Beers and Deals meetup second Wed of every month at 401 W. Ash on the rooftop of the hotel.  I have had partners arise from that meetup throughout the years.  It is a well established RE meetup.  Next one is March 15th at 5:30 till?  It is a great meetup and the location is a great setting.  Wear warm clothes.

The lending agent I prefer is Brian Bruening at Bellweather.  He has done 4 loans for me.  

Tell him Swanny referred you.  He has done all my commercial Multifamily loans.

Exactly @Carlos Ptriawan

It is passive if you want to lose your ***!! I protect my assets and my family and friends money like a little pit Bull.  You can trust to an extent, but you must have checks and balances and verify everything. I retired from my teaching job 2 school years ago and it is a huge duty, responsibility, and obligation to me to do so!!!


Feel free to pick my brain.  It is my pleasure, honor and privilege to do so!!

Hi Bob,

Not for me.  Brandon has helped me with contractors etc… and can see in front of his face and is not one and done.  That has not been my experience with Brandon Kosek at BWE.

Respectfully,

Swanny
