NETWORK!!!

As always, networking and finding those off-market deals is key.

NETWORK!!!

Either way, start networking with local real estate groups and agents, they’ll help you learn the Cleveland market better.

While I don't have experience yet, I'm currently networking to meet new people in the area and saving up for my first deal hopefully sometime next year with the help of a family member who plans to partner up.

If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

NETWORK!!!

Networking with private lenders and purchased a book. :) 

After a couple of years of treading the path to frugality to build this financial runway, I've networked with the greatest people who made this all happen, of course, it took the strength, determination, time, etc to place myself where I am today but, without the mentorship of my two great mentors whom I wish used BiggerPockets so I can mention, I don't believe I would have made it thus far relying on some whimsical dream that this will all pan out accordingly, thank you for everything Greg and Lashawn.In addition, I would like to thank Bigger Pockets for connecting me with the greatest realtor @Stephen Schmitt Who took my dreams and aspirations to the core when we first connected and spoke about my future goals to replace my W2 job for financial freedom. within three months of me deciding to pull the trigger and get pre-approved, we found this killer cash-cow that apprised over purchase price!!! 

Feel free to share more about the property—I’d love to see if it’s something I or someone in my network might be interested in!
