I have no affiliation (or ever heard of them until today) but they are HQ'd in YT and appear to be investment real estate friendly based on their filings.

I have some friends looking for a PM in Cleveland right now.

They can live in the unit, stay at a friends or family members, or rent a hotel themselves.

First and foremost I have tried the typical solution of friends and family.

If you want DM me and I'll connect you.Then find an investor friendly agent with experience closing VA loans who will help you find the right small-multifamily property.

I also have a realtor looking for short term rentals at Grand Lake, Oklahoma, where I have my vacation home, and I have a realtor friend licensed in Missouri and Arkansas whom I'm going to contact to look in Joplin, Missouri and Bella Vista, Arkansas.

got it - so is the capital raised from family / friends, or did you also approach institutional investors?

For example, friends and family have invested in my properties, which has been great for their needs - ask around your friends and acquaintances you already trust to see what opportunities are there.

Join off-market Facebook groups and local RE investor FB groups to get more local information about potential off-market properties, and find investor-friendly RE agents who are willing to work with you.I would recommend for a first deal at least to get something closer to home, easier to get back and forth to for your own sanity, ability to check on either construction or tenants, address repair and maintenance issues.

I have a friend that is pleased with his PM in the area.
