I have the knowledge and skills for contractor work as I have been doing handyman work for the past 10 years, as well as learning the roofing trade with a professional company.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I think Landlords are better off using strong policies, knowing the law, acting quickly and professionally.

Whether it applies or not it's always a good idea to check with a professional first so thanks for the reply.

One strategy you can use is to continue what you are doing and house hack and rent to traveling professionals.

If you know of any exceptional professionals in the Cleveland area with a strong track record or if you believe you are one yourself please reach out to me and I will get back to you.

Connect with professionals who know what they are doing so you can receive proper guidance.

But doesn't have any property advertising, prospective tenant applications/screening, or any of that side of the business.
