I would definitely pull up Excel and do some of your own calculations to figure out how things will look.

Hi Jake-Thanks for the advice- I currently keep photos of all recipets and have updated excel sheets with all costs associated to each property.Organized for now - but as I make moves to scale a bit I probably could use a CPA who knows real estate finance.Respectfully

Cleveland is an excellent market to invest in real estate.

There's no one size fits all approach to real estate investing and depending on your resources, skill set, and capabilities you may excel in one particular market or utilizing a specific strategy whereas another investor will excel using a different approach.  

I know the equity growth on it longterm will be excellent for what and where it is, but I can't buy just for equity right now, it needs to at least carry itself.

Companies like PolicyGenius do an excellent job selling personal lines coverage (property/casualty and life, mainly) more easily (and maybe more cheaply) than your local State Farm agent.

My experience was excellent both projects were completed successfully, on time, and delivered solid returns.

Find one that can be custom to your needs, has flexible pricing, no long-term, high-cost memberships, and excellent customer services to determine how to best market to your leads.

For example, the 10-foot, 3-panel sliding patio door was just $800.4.

I have some homes in Ft Lauderdale and excel in the Short Term Rental space.
