The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

@Danielle Levy a lot of questions regarding your accusations:1) What are the average Days On Market (DOM) for rentals in this "hot" market?

It'll take time but can really pay off if you stick with it.I'm in Los Angeles and I've investing in TN and GA in the past, and currently investing in SE Wisconsin (your area).Let's connect and discuss the market.

Thanks David, I want to start off local so first thing is to study the market and see which parts of my town have a lot of homes needing repairs as well as moderately high rent prices to maximize my ROI.

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

U go into C D in any city in the mid west rust belt quote un quote BRRR market or cash flow market and you will experience the exact same thing very time.

They offer weekly training sessions on everything from investing and construction to vendor management, cash management, market analysis, and home underwriting.

He was a realtor based in the Midwest (I think the greater Chicago area) and was talking about off vs. on market deals and the importance of choosing equity over cash flow. 

Last short term rental we put on the market was booked for a 30 day stay first day on the market.

I'm in Phoenix and obviously you can see that there are so many people moving from the west coast states out here to a cheaper and better weather market.
