Navigating Zoning Laws: Challenges and Opportunities for Co-Living Real Estate InvestHey BiggerPockets Community,As co-living gains traction as a viable real estate investment strategy, it's crucial to understand how existing zoning laws can impact these ventures.

What are your thoughts on Cleveland as a place to begin investing and What areas would you recommend I begin looking at?

The two are almost entirely different markets in terms of price points, returns, tenant quality, and overall investing strategy.

I live in Oregon, but invest in Arizona. 

@Paloma Wodehouse congratulations on starting your investment journey!

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

I've used the search feature on this forum but didn't have much luck.Are there any US investors, hard money lenders, or groups that invest in flips outside of the United States, specifically in Europe (Netherlands, Spain, etc.)?

Your initial terms will vary based on your investment experience, but generally, you want to plan on needing 20% of the purchase price if you're a newer investor and the lender will cover 100% of the rehab.
