The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

Also thinking about wholesaling as a means to build capital  @Makani Donaldson Do you know anyone in your market that owns MTRs and LTRs that manages their own properties and needs help?

My plan was to purchase a lot and build a foundation, bring in a doublewide/manufactured house. have it placed on foundation and have a structural engineer reclassify it as fixed real estate. then, I would refinance.

@Tamika Davis To your point, it is difficult to find one app that does it all.

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.

I guess they have more land to build there so it might reduce the appreciation there?

I personally like the buy-and-hold strategy and we help clients who share this long-term, wealth building mindset. 

County has assessed for 200k but would be worth more due to the area they are building homes left and right on that road and they are selling 300k+ and up.

It's  not all inclusive, but it's still difficult to jump into Stage 1, not knowing the cost of Stage 2 ahead.
