I currently hold a number of properties in Rochester. There’s still plenty of room on properties even with the tax rate. I’m starting to trim back my portfolio a bit as I’m getting older and shifting strategies. I would avoid properties that need lots of work especially if you are far away. Try to find an Investor like me that’s aging out and work an off market deal wherever possible. Feel free to pm me.

Hello everyone! 

I am looking to do a house hack on a duplex/triplex/fourplex around the Rochester, NY area for my first deal in 2024. I would like house hacking to be my first point of focus then move into MFHs/SFHs as I learn more.

I can contribute as I have a desire to continuously grow my knowledge, and I am willing to try new things and learn from others.

Let's connect and chat!


 John, my partner and I have a quad we are selling in Rochester if you are interested.  Property has done really well for us but we are moving on from the Rochester market due to us going separate ways. Let me know if you want to take a look at it.  I also have 2 duplexes as well we want to sell.

Hi Julie, I just switched to a new company this month, so I'm still in the evaluation stage.  I left ReMax/Haven due to the poor service and high charges.  They also don't allow any phone correspondence.  You can't speak to a live person, even if you want to.  It's just really ridiculous.


Curious which pm you moved to. Lots seem to recommend haven, so this definitely gives me pause. I’m also not a fan of those on here saying they know them all and then they recommend one only to learn they have a business interest in the one they recommend.

Hi! Looking for some advice from fellow investors in Cleveland. 

I have been having a hard time over the last 2 years finding a decent property manager. My previous property management kept inaccurate books, was unreliable with owner draw, and placed an unqualified tenant that has taken me a year + to get evicted (still an ongoing process). I finally switched to a new company in Jan 2023. Im getting several red flags, poor communication, took 3 weeks to post a 3 day eviction and then another 4 weeks to file paperwork with the court. I am paying for landscaping services and my long term tenant was reached out to me to let me know the PM has never been to the property for landscaping etc, etc... 

Cleveland has been a rough go for us in terms of finding good help; but I still believe in the potential of this property. I have feelers out on Realty Now and Cleveland Property Management group as potential new PMs. 

Any suggestions of reliable PM in the area? Duplex is located in the Euclid area. 

Thanks!

Julie 


Welcome to the club! Finding a reliable Pm is going in Cleveland is going to be a challenge. I personally now fly to Cleveland just to go the local REIA meeting to find a rock star Pm. From what I can as you will notice asking on this forum is pointless for Cleveland Oh. Most Pm's are subpar.

 So did you find one?

 I know them all. I am aware of who to stay away from as well. I have extensive experience out there doing about 500 deals over 10 years. Nothing I do not know about the Cleveland markets,  Happy to recommend. 


 Can you please post your recommendations publicly?  If no, why not?

I too am looking for a PM in Cleveland.  I want a bit more personalized service, not to be overcharged on repairs and most importantly communication.  I feel like finding a PM that can actually do all 3 of these is impossible.
