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.

For example, if local regulations require energy-efficient upgrades, prioritize these changes to avoid fines and demonstrate your commitment to sustainable practices.Case Study: In 2020, many cities introduced rent control measures.
