Through my research, it says that Cleveland and Toledo are both good options for real estate investing.

As noted, if your options are Reg D, private offering vs fully registered public offering, even if you are talking Pink Sheet (OTC) stocks, you have public filing costs, annual audit requirements, and likely more on-going expenses that have to be covered by the property(s) owned by the offering.  

This can have huge tax implications.Margins are an option but they are usually given at 50% of your portfolio (in this case 500k or even less after excluding 401k).In case if anyone's wondering why I'm doing this, it's because some buyers sell it much cheaper when it's a cash offer with 15-20 days closing.

Syracuse is definitely experiencing a lot of hype at the moment because of Micron, and we're seeing lots of renovated options on the market in areas that likely won't benefit from the new campus.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.

If this is not something you're interested in delving into and learning to a high degree, then investing in publicly traded REITs would be another good option for you, which have historically returned about 13.5 per cent Per year over the past 50 years (1977-present), beating the US stock market by two per cent and even beating private real estate investing by 4 per cent (that's compared with the average real estate investor, not the experts here at Bigger Pockets).
