@James Wise Excellent! Thank you for that grading link, I had not come across that yet.

@Brian Garlington solid advice, and I would hope to assume everyone would say "of course, obviously!" but given the generation hooked on text communication I'd imagine some folks do proceed in this inappropriate manner. Eek!

Great advice @Brian Garlington! Thank you. I will get moving on that. I just sent you a connection invite, I'd love to chat with you more, especially around your section 8 SFH.

Hi Cleveland folks!

We are a queer married couple from San Francisco looking to expand our REI portfolio in Cleveland. We led with that detail about our identity as lesbians because we want to build a gay-friendly team and avoid any friction in this area down the road. Another important value for us is that they not be racist, which sadly comes up a lot in real estate.

Okay, on with the actual ask... We have REI history in vacation rentals, and now want to focus on long term buy and holds for cash flow. We are interested both SFH and multi-family properties. To start we looking for good deals on properties that would not need much improvement to rent out. Later down the line as we have a good team in place we may be interested in trying the BRRRR strategy on a property that would need more TLC.

If y'all have any recommendations/referrals to build out a great Cleveland team, we'd greatly appreciate it! Our current focus is to find investor-friendly agents and property managers.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Marc Rice, I am not currently shopping in Columbus, but appreciate the Cleveland note on cash flow! And if I throw Columbus into the mix later down the road I'll be sure to reach out.

@Michael Orlando - Thanks for the response! Yeah, I'd definitely be interested in hopping on a call to chat about the Cleveland market. And if you could send your agent friend's info my way, that would be great too. 

I am just now realizing I posted this thread in the Indy forum... oops. I don't see a way to edit that, so I may just re-post my original message in the correct forum (ie Cleveland). 

Thanks @Krystal Maldonado!
