Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

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. 

They are just regurgitating marketing 101 trying to sell the holy grail. 

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.

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.

I come from Europe too, and I know it can be overwhelming when you look at the real estate market in a new country and with completely different building technics ( sticks instead of bricks), but is not as bad when you have the right team in place. 

The key is knowing how to navigate them:🔹 Finding the Right Deals – The best distressed properties aren’t always the ones sitting on the market.

Given the fact that the Baby-Boomer generation is retiring and interest rates are high (making a buyer's market) I should be in a good place.

If, through the process of renovating the property, the market shifts, do you have an alternate plan for the property, whether it be to live in it until the market improves, or convert it to a rental property, etc. 

But it had been for sale on the market since July, 2024.
