Here’s how I built my network, the challenges I faced, and why I believe relationships are a cornerstone of real estate success.Finding My Support SystemWhen I first started in real estate, I was young, fresh out of college, and had just become a mom.

While I haven’t invested in Cleveland or Toledo myself, I’ve heard both cities offer interesting opportunities for new investors due to their affordability and rental demand.When deciding between the two, have you considered what kind of tenant base you’d like to attract and how the job markets or local amenities in each city might support that?

Stay disciplined, track your expenses, and connect with other investors for support and advice. 

I am not here to support or defend any of RAD's actions.

One of the most important things to look for is the support during and after the class. 

You will receive a report as a result of the cost segregation study that supports the breakout between asset classes and new depreciation schedule in the event that you are audited by the IRS.

Focus on one or two target markets, get familiar with the numbers, and use tools like BP calculators to analyze potential properties.Whether you start now or after graduation depends on your bandwidth, just have the right systems and support in place first.

I don't like one-time fees for software (he also says you can't buy it without signing up for his mentor/coaching program) because as a one-shot deal support, updates etc are usually pretty poor. 

I'm also working on upgrades for THE MTR Connect - better scheduling, automations, guest speakers, social media - all to help promote the collaborative and supportive space my colleague @Jamie Banks and I have created.

@William BohanWell, owning out of town means finding good "people" to manage and support your investments...
