Quote from @Dan Farsht: I am looking to connect with other hard money lenders in the upper Midwest (our business is currently concentrated in the Greater Milwaukee Area). 

I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.

You can put your license in referral at most brokerages and pay no fees and still be able to do referral business.

@Isaac TerryIn terms of it being worthwhile, just like most other markets out of state if the barrier or entry is too high where you live, the landlord laws are not favorable where you live, and you are looking for positive cashflow then Cleveland can be a good option.

I am currently a junior business marketing major with a concentration in professional sales at Samford University.

Is cash flow the most important or is equity growth more important to you?

I currently live in Butte, Mt but plan on moving to Phoenix, Az for 6 months out of the year.

I am currently a sales manager for a commercial tree farm and have recently been consuming Kiyosaki's books like they are candy.

I don't expect to know everything by then, but I hope to develop a basic strategy that prevents me from making the most common and costly mistakes that a newbie can make.

Most of the buyers are just regular folks looking for a home, so they are not at all thinking about cap rates.
