I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre.

I would recommend you use the profile page BP.  

In general, would you recommend getting a lawyer in the area where the LLC is registered?

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 

Are there any creative ways you’d recommend for me to identify and approach motivated sellers or uncover foreclosures?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!

I would also highly recommend you set some parameters when thinking about working with non-accredited investors or if you are one and want to invest on a large deal. 

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals. Do you know of any good websites where I can post my deals?

I recommend Stessa to all my retail clients.
