I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

It's not difficult to find tenants if the property is marketed correctly.

Are the tenants paying market rents?

Cleveland is a great market if you know how to navigate it and have a good property manager.

I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.

It is a very competitive market and units in the tens of thousands.

VERY unlikely unless you either source an off-market property yourself or you find a unicorn deal (our last semi-BRRRR was a B-neighborhood property we sourced from an out of town wholesaler in late 2023, but couldn't get all our capital back out on refi).  

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

Market Demand: Buyers love move-in-ready homes, and flips are often the most attractive properties on the market.

It’s not a market where you can just buy blindly, but for investors willing to do their homework, it offers a strong mix of cash flow and appreciation.If you’re open to learning more, I’m happy to share some resources on how I’ve built my portfolio there.
