While I haven’t invested in Cleveland or Toledo myself, I’ve heard both cities offer interesting opportunities for new investors due to their affordability and rental demand.When deciding between the two, have you considered what kind of tenant base you’d like to attract and how the job markets or local amenities in each city might support that?

This way, they’ll have a vested interest in maintaining high standards of management.To truly understand property dynamics and support the management team, I recommend spending time on-site.

Chicago has such a great investing community compared to most places in the US I have visited!

Quote from @Keira Hamilton: Hey BiggerPockets Community!

I'm also working on upgrades for THE MTR Connect - better scheduling, automations, guest speakers, social media - all to help promote the collaborative and supportive space my colleague @Jamie Banks and I have created.

There are several hurdles during the process:Find the deal - Unless you are marketing or plugged into a community where there are opportunities, it isn't always easy to find the right dealsEvaluate the deal - Without professional guidance and research tools, it is difficult for a newbie investor to evaluate and ARV/FMV or create an adequate rehab budgetSecondary exit strategies - If things don't go as planned are their other opportunities to exit profitably.

Welcome to Chicago and excited to have you as part of our real estate community!

Bob is very good on the customer support and that being said... they are the only company other than myself that I have invested with  basically EVER... as I do my own deals.But I had money stacking up in my SDRA and of course I can't self deal.. so I chose one of his new investments which is more akin to what I like.. quicker turn and high IRR...
