Therefore, working with a single real estate agent doesn't make much sense as it will limit you to his/her very limited inventory and he/she might have as main objective to sell a property to you take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the market.

I have an off market opportunity for a 3 plex that I’m looking at.

When searching for clients I usually suggest starting with ones inner circle and good old grass roots marketing. 

What kind of market are you looking for? 

I am not sure about STR in Cleveland and how much that market supports high end STRs and highly designed STRsThat said, I disagree with just looking at others.

I think this is a very underutilized strategy in this type of market

The best course of action is talking to so many sellers through your marketing that you find the ones that are truly motivated at the price you are willing to buy their property at..

Low down payment AND it cash flows also AND buyer has title.Maybe I am asking too much, but I don't think so.Perhaps you just market to homeowners.

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market.
