Find them at local real estate meetups, but be careful, it's a sketchy business overall.

(In case the local government decides they don’t want the mobile homes there any longer.)

And the locals in Highlands have been fiercely debating STR's and regulations for the last few years, so I wouldn't be comfortable buying there.

For starters, I recommend to begin with a single family home or if you are looking to start locally, do house hacking. 

I personally think it is best to work with local professionals with a good track record. 

More important than identifying target areas is establishing relationship with a local investor-friendly professional who has personal experience in investing in Cleveland.

If they send to you then you take docs to local bank and sign with a notary. 

My suggestions:* Requiring code compliance and safety equipment is absolutely valid and should be part of the regulations* Requiring owners live within 15 miles is not necessary since poor hosts whether they're local or distant will violate the 3-5 warning system and earn a suspension.

I know, why do you think I talk to you like a local lol.I used to swim in steven creek reservoir!

Would love to connect with local investors in the area!
