Even in your area, you may meet other out of state investors so you have more context for when you talk to the people who will make up your team there.

@Somesh MukherjeeI would be happy to connect to talk about Cleveland, having a great team in place is going to be the pillars to your success.

I personally use Hostfully and their support team is great!

Hi @Eric JohnsonAs you bein your real estate investing journey I would suggest that you assemble your team of pros around you (like the avengers) AKA Your Core 41.

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

Or are you looking to be more the CEO where you are the decision maker and have a team to take care of the rest.  

The Rent To Retirement team is excited to share this journey with you!

I currently self manage so I don't have systems/team.

Lots of great info on here as well, and like they're saying the best thing to do is to find an experience broker / realtor who can help you navigate which neighborhoods to target and which ones to stay away from, as well helping you to build out your team for property managers, lenders, inspectors, contractors, ect.

Many of the investors that i work with find that when you find the right team to invest through this can be an easy and profitable way to invest.Best of luck.
