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.

Are you looking for custom, semi-custom or spec homes?

Face-to-face connections can quickly build trust and often lead to referrals.2.Online Groups & Forums:Utilize Facebook groups, LinkedIn communities, and other local online networks dedicated to real estate investing.

There are multiple customizations for STR that could be made. 

However, the fact that Rent to Retirement’s reviews keep coming back might also be a sign that they're hitting all the right notes with their customers.

Worth using, but also worth dedicating some time to qualify the right one to work with (I work with a Bigger Pockets preferred lender, so I am not impartial!)

Open a dedicated business bank account to separate personal and business finances, ensuring compliance and transparency.

Im dedicated to learn this bisiness and gain the experience the right way.

@Maxwell Silva - In marketing / advertising, products and services are not expected to be sold the first time a potential customer is exposed to them.

And on the commercial build out do you believe this to be an attractive feature to the renters and their customers.
