I see investors all over the country making 30%+ cash-on-cash return, BUT there are also people throwing money out of the window.

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

My brokerage is part of Anywhere RE, we have the biggest names under our umbrella (ERA, Caldwell Banker, Sotherbys, BHG, Century 21) and we have a fantastic referral program that I can hand pick an agent anywhere in the country and interview them for you to make sure they have the qualities you are looking for.

There are wholesalers in every major city in the country and they are buying at 70% to 90% of value all day long, every day of the week.

I agree with all of this.

Main question in other countries is ownership and taxes.  

My property manager is top of my list for my CORE 4.I agree with @Nathan Gesner that you need to get out and start meeting people in person. 

Events like this give the opportunity to meet and talk to investors from all over the country, doing different kind of investing, and with a varied amount of experience.

I'm just buying my time and making some connections while I build my credit history again - worst part about moving country haha!

Agreed..
