Is there a friend, family member, or colleague that has real estate investing experience?

I rented out the additional bedrooms to friends and family, charging them well below market, and sold when it was time for my wife and I to start our own adventures.

Akron is a very blue city and are not very landlord friendly - source of income protections, etc... 

Would love to connect with investor friendly real estate agents, other wholesalers, and cash buyers.Looking forward to meeting all of you!

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

@Kasey Hardt very interesting,  didn't realize this was a pattern but even I've got friends that are getting recruited to the area for medical device startups etc, so could be a very interesting trend to watch.

I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.

Do you build it with the intention of renting it or just for family/friend use?

A friend of mine had a similar journey - they turned their old home into a rental property and soon realized they loved managing tenants and exploring ways to add value.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.
