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.

The Housing Wire article chart shows how FHA and VA loan delinquencies are approaching really high historical levels, close to that of the housing crash.We are still at historic lows for conventional loans.

I'm a mortgage broker and can offer just about any product QM and non QM with competitive pricing. let's close some deals!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

(Find them on FB)Kenosha/Racine used to have a really good investor group but I haven't seen them post about meetups for close to a year now. 

@Andrew Self I would like to think that my company is the best and offers the lowest rates and closing costs, but perhaps I am bias.

If they are paying little to no money at closing, what skin in the game do they have?

Understand what's in the deed before closing.

The house sits near a freeway junction and a busy street, and while my previous rental was also close to the freeway, something about this home's elevation makes the noise unbearablyintrusive.

🫣This doesn’t answer your question directly, but the whole concept is very close to the old time “rooming house”.
