When you make every effort to help people and forget about your own profits, that's when magic starts happening. 

I'd be happy to send you a list if contacts that could be helpful to get you started in Cleveland.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

@Chris Seveney, we own one investment property and have some money in retirement, but we just started saving so its not a large amount yet, so I wouldn't say we have a ton of assets at this point.

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!

Hey Alex, From what I am seeing and hearing from the agents/investors that I work with, a lot of investors who own properties are starting to transition from LTR to MTR/STR model, and housing professionals/nurses + the occasional booking on Airbnb/VRBO.  

But from what you posted, being in the path of development, near a major U is a good thing.

They're accessible and provide a good starting point for market research others in social media.

After searching his name, it turns out he was the developer of the neighborhood.I was able to locate the release of mortgage from when he sold the lot to the builder, so it seems to me that this is a mistake.

I will also be needing an agent soon to help me find the right property to start out with.
