Luka Jozic Experience of OOS investing in Cleveland after 1.5 years.

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏
