Would also love to connect with experienced Cleveland rental investors.Much Thanks Hi you are not getting 2% rule, I am (and others that have been doing business there for years) .

Best of luck on your journey, and remember, delayed gratification is your best friend in this business!

The lenders were very good and communicating at first, but as we got close to closing, we could not reach a single person in the company during business hours.

I especially liked Matt's process of creating my business plan as it forced me to really think about it, get it right and make it easily understood by my clients.His process for the offering also made me think about transparency and other ethical issues that are required by law to be disclosed in the offering.

I am passionate about helping investors build life-changing wealth through scalable portfolios.Background:Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration, I is fluent in Spanish and have spent a decade in nonprofit work and overseas missions.

More than anything, real estate is a people business.

Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

You invest in something else, for example in a more profitable place, and the you use the proceeds of the investment to buy a property in Costa Rica when you retire.

I generally try not to sell my properties unless I have to sell in order to have enough proceeds to purchase a bigger and better property (and usually more units).

We kind of throw out these definitions for our business because they can become misleading.
