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.

There's a 50 year record high supply of Class A multifamily inventory Nationwide that you're competing with. 

There's obviously quite a bit of diligence that comes after such as who the key principles are and their credentials/track record (both balance sheet and experience), the underlying real estate and thesis behind the investment & tax prep and audit procedures but as a general rule of thumb if the investor can't get past the first part which is understanding what they are investing in, passive investing is probably not for that individual. 

As mentioned in my original post, the use of a lower property tax expense projection (even lower value than the year before the record sales price) in the pro forma should never have passed any due diligence check (it was 70% off from pro forma!).

Hi Varun,When evaluating a builder/developer, focus on their experience, track record, financial stability, and references.

Trust documents are not required to be publicly recorded, ensuring that details about the trust remain private.2.

In MN if you try to get a rental license and your nowhere to be found on record of ownership and there is a different owner on record, there gonna catch n flag that requiring the "actual" property owner has to complete all licensing requirements.
