Quote from @Yossi Gamrasni: Hi everyone,I'm an investor looking to connect with experienced real estate agents in the Greater Cleveland area who can help me find properties for long-term rentals.

What are you looking to achieve in the short, mid, long term?

I’m thinking about 1031 exchange , the town is a sleepy town , the same contractors and good tenants don’t last that long 

From my understanding, as long as you intend on doing a STR when you close, there are no rules against changing your strategy after closing, especially if you find that something else is more profitable.So in our case, the lender determined an STR would bring in ~$3500/month (with all of their conservative factors), but now that we operate it as a huge 3300 sqft Co-Living property, it actually brings in $7000/month.

Most people drive miles to work, or work out of the house. 

We look at lenders (so long as they lend in the asset class you are considering) as an additional line of due diligence (they deeply care about their money and they are likely more sophisticated than you are).

Yes, operations is a big part of that, especially for anyone that wants to be a business for the long-term.If I were you, I would be talking to office brokers about partnering more than an online forum.

Cash flow is real, but it’s often a long-term play.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?
