Do I need to find one that specializes in what I am looking for...like self storage or warehouses or old building conversions? 

This has just been my experience both as an REI and the owner of a bookkeeping firm that specializes in serving REIs.Hope that helps!

Sent you a message to connect

Honestly, the message I walked away with was "Invest in the Education!".  

If you think writing a generic message will get great results, think again.

First off, I’d suggest connecting with a CPA who specializes in real estate and understands the specifics of Cleveland and Ohio state taxes.

I gave May a call and left a message and Jeff won’t be back in the office till Tuesday. 

I just messaged you on the platform and sent you an email.I am looking forward to connecting with you.

Speak with the Community Manager, or try to meet with one or more board members to gauge their attitudes on your investing ideas.Very Important:  check to see if there are any current or in-the-works special assessments.
