The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

And right now, I am going to tear it down in 2025 and build a new house as my primary home.

I think new builds don't really work from an ROI standpoint, but if you can find properties that have easy ADU conversions then the value might be there.I'm in MA and we just made ADUs legal by right, so I'm looking into the best ways to add value using them.

What I love most about what I do is building genuine connections with people—whether it’s homeowners, investors, or fellow professionals.

Build a strong network of mentors and industry professionals! 

I updated the bathroom/porch in the spring, and am finishing construction on a 2-stall garage (the previous garage was basically a large shed that I could not fit much in).Moving forward I am considering one of the following options to put my money and build equity:1.

Strategy Selection – With your interest in STRs, multifamily, and fix & flips, consider focusing on one strategy first to build expertise before branching out.

Do people other than tenants in the building have access to the area?

Apparently, not only did they sell at a loss, I didn't get any money back at all and they claim I owe them an additional $40,000 for "renovations" despite no work being done to the building at all.
