It's tough to give a definitive answer without knowing your specific investment goals (cash flow, appreciation, etc.) and preferred strategies (BRRRR, wholesaling, etc.).However, since I'm a Cleveland native and active in the real estate market here, I can offer some insights on why Cleveland could be a good fit:Affordability: Compared to many other major metros, Cleveland offers a relatively low barrier to entry.

@Kyle Kulhanek Are you planning to transfer the property into an LLC owned by both individuals on title? 

We would prefer to have properties in our neighborhood so we can manage them ourselves. 

We currently accept rent from tenants using a variety of 3rd party apps-Cashapp, Venmo, Zelle but are moving away from accepting payments in our individual names and want to start accepting payments directly to the LLC/business accounts, but LLC accounts do not accept Zelle and there is a fee for using business accounts on Venmo.

My nightmare is with the lender (who was supposed to be an individual investor) but found out after the fact (partners didn't share information.)

A Solo 401(k) may be advantageous for self-employed individuals, offering the potential for participant loans, higher contributions, and no custodian fees, as well as higher contribution limits and the option for tax-deferred or Roth contributions.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Yes @Jaycee GreeneWe will focus on SF with at least 3-2, preferably higher.

Wrongfully terminating individuals not only disrupts their lives and livelihoods but also reflects a lack of respect for their rights as employees.

I prefer new construction homes where an opportunity for a good deal presents itself How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
