A large part of my work day was selling the courses and assisting the students.Learn By DoingNote and real estate investing is a learn by doing business.

You can find a lot of meetings on the MAREI calendar, both MAREI's meetings, local landlord group meetings and a few other meetings hosted by our members. 

Begin by targeting distressed properties in gentrifying neighborhoods, securing financing through hard money lenders or private investors, and focusing on cost-effective renovations.

I’ve been unable to find anything.I’m new to the Cleveland market and was able to navigate the LAIC issue.

It will be an identical home to the one I’m currently building, and I expect to need no more than $160K in financing.I’m not looking to overextend myself by taking on too much debt, but I want to make sure I’m approaching this in the right way. 

@Christopher HeidrichRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

And you can be a landlord that gets a very poor return because they haven't utilized their space well by changing the layout.

Note: This could happen NOT by your choice with a layoff.

We will also stick by you throughout your real estate investing journey, even after closing.

This sounds risky, are you being compensated by additional rent and have you checked with your insurance to ensure you are covered.
