The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

Face-to-face connections can quickly build trust and often lead to referrals.2.Online Groups & Forums:Utilize Facebook groups, LinkedIn communities, and other local online networks dedicated to real estate investing.

Open a dedicated business bank account to separate personal and business finances, ensuring compliance and transparency.

Reverse engineer the list of most recently acquired hospitality business built or bought within the 30-40mile radius, You’d be puzzled at how much capital they have to play with.Crowdfunding or Real Estate Syndication: Platforms dedicated to real estate investment might have investors interested in backing a boutique hotel project.

Im dedicated to learn this bisiness and gain the experience the right way.

Real estate can be a fantastic career if you dedicate the time and effort to learn thoroughly.

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

Worth using, but also worth dedicating some time to qualify the right one to work with (I work with a Bigger Pockets preferred lender, so I am not impartial!)

Since then I have dedicated most of my free time to study Wrights work, developing myself as 1st an Architectural Drafter, and now as a conduit of beautiful Architecture and interior/exterior design in the spirit and style of Frank Lloyd Wright.

I have a space in my home where I do all of my desk office-type work, but it is not dedicated to real estate.
