I would encourage you to find local REI meet-ups in your area.

This is a great area with plenty of opportunities to grow as an investor.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about deals, strategies, or just connect with other local investors.

I also recommend a bank that has local branch that you can go into vs having it 100% online.

It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area.

Great idea, but check your local regulations.

As I said, check with local banks and credit unions.

I'm not sure where your market is but I could help look at land costs. we are trying to educate building to rent or building investment properties as a new strategy to just buying the garbage new builds around the country. this fits on lots as small as 3500 square feet. you'd have to check local zoning but if I had what you had that's what I'd do or at least look into it. 

However, if the owner lives in Cuyahoga County or a contiguous county, the owner may be listed as the local agent in charge.

I’m looking to connect with local investors to exchange insights, experiences, and potential opportunities.Thank you, and I look forward to building meaningful connections!
