Hey Michael, as Jimmy said.. Facebook is a great start when it comes to finding active wholesalers. I always send them my email address so I can have all of my deals in one email bucket.

 Have you looked in the Columbus area at all? My team is finding a ton of off-market opportunities in the Columbus area. We also do a lot in Cleveland as well! 

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Dustin! I'm originally from Florida and jumped into real estate after burning all the boats. 

Learn as much as you can every day and just dive in!

Hey Ward, I'd be glad to connect you with my go-to attorney. 

Hey Julian, welcome to BP. 

I like the west side of Cleveland. Look into neighborhoods like Jefferson, West Park and Boulevard, Brooklyn Center, Old Brooklyn, and Newburgh Heights. A lot of investors I'm working with are seeing great success in the C/B locations.

When looking for cash flowing markets.. a lot of investors, including myself, are looking in cities like Cleveland.

Cleveland currently has one of the lowest price/rent ratios in the Nation, with the average home price being $107k and the average rent being $1,416/Mo.

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

Have you looked into Ohio markets such as Columbus? A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

Prices in Columbus are still low enough to find 1% rule deals and there's a ton of appreciation happening in this market as well. I actually moved from Florida to Columbus for the real estate. I saw how fast the city was growing and decided to make the jump.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Mark!

When investing locally, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can. A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association. You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.

Feel free to stop by our quarterly event as well!
