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.

Hiking trails are so crowded that the most popular ones are one-way and you can find yourself waiting a long time to get through some spots on those trails.

Did your discount make it worth your time to buy it anyways? 

Would you be better off selling and purchasing a less expensive property that would require less carry should it become vacant for some period of time?

Glad it's working for you I slowed down on RE for about the past year and a half S&P 500 is up 27% YTD, NASDAQ 100 up 32% 

Photos of the tree show it has been dead for some time, not hard to tell.the tree fell from the neighbors yard through the fence.

I sent you a connection request but you can also grab a time by clicking on my website link in my signature line.

The other thing to think about is the length of time you've owned the property.

If you’re trying to handle everything yourself, it can quickly turn into a full-time job.From what I’ve seen, a well-trained VA can take a huge workload off your plate by handling:Tenant Screening & Communication – Answering inquiries, pre-qualifying tenants, and scheduling showings.Lease & Document Management – Sending and tracking lease agreements, renewals, and keeping paperwork organized.Rent Collection & Follow-Ups – Tracking payments, sending reminders, and ensuring rent is collected on time.Maintenance Coordination – Managing repair requests and keeping everything running smoothly.But here’s the key—you can’t just hire a VA and expect them to magically know your process.

If you are able to follow this path over time you will do great.John
