Quote from @Edward Barrett: New investor here trying to stay in my local market (Dayton, OH).Since I've started looking for my first deal I've come across a few section 8 properties that seem to pencil, but I'm a bit loath to jump into that kind of deal.

Quote from @Paul LaValley: I live in Tucson and know Tucson really really well so I want to start here and then jump up to include Phoenix area. 

I am 18 years old and I am very interested in CRE Investing and I need some advice on how to get started and if there is any videos that can help me get started.

My thoughts - this is a GOOD start.

Deals and partnerships started flowing in when we focused on providing value first rather than chasing transactions.What’s been the biggest shift in your approach since getting clear on your long-term goals?

Thanks Meghan, this would be my first purchase so looking to start with a smaller sq ft facility, around 50k.

@Michael AddisonIf you're just getting started in Cleveland I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre.

Have recently started a renovation company with a friend, both of us successful business owners and talented in the trades.

You will likely miss some deductions using the commercial tax software but it’s the cheaper option and starting out a couple hundred dollars in deductions missed likely isn’t that big of a deal.
