Make sure to communicate your BRRRR strategy with your insurance agent so they can recommend the right coverage for each phase.I learned this lesson the hard way: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/853/topics/1222933-my-b...

My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

While the borrowing costs are higher, I’m exploring strategies where the returns could offset this.

One approach that I have not seen included in the discussion is as you are still in the planning phase, you could change your approach and the facts to make it more favorable for your strategy.

It's tough to give a definitive answer without knowing your specific investment goals (cash flow, appreciation, etc.) and preferred strategies (BRRRR, wholesaling, etc.).However, since I'm a Cleveland native and active in the real estate market here, I can offer some insights on why Cleveland could be a good fit:Affordability: Compared to many other major metros, Cleveland offers a relatively low barrier to entry.

Im trained enough myself at this point in QBO, but my bookeeper still does the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, etc) I just do the data entries for expenses. 

I hadn't thought of these strategies before, but I'll definitely give them a shot.

This is one strategy I used. 

What strategy are you thinking of pursuing?

Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.
