Do you have any referrals to build a solid network on the ground?

Buildings and terrain around you?

Hello Derick, If you have not already done this, I suggest the Build Your Investing Team> menu/link at the top left of the page on Bigger Pockets and go through the process of building a team.

Your agent should be able to help with your deal analysis, consulting on whether a deal is good/bad, learning neighborhoods, estimating renovations, building your team, etc.

You should be able to build an entirely new deck with concrete footing for less. 

I have a follow up question from yesterday's as I continue to build my team in Akron/Canton, OH for STR's.

By year three, I aim to cover all operating costs and, by year four, to generate positive cash flow.Experienced investors say it’s crucial to persevere through the initial challenges while gradually building credibility through positive reviews, and I believe them.

Partnering with investors, attending local meetups, and building a strong network would be key steps.

Best way to scale a fix and flip operation in 2025 is to build yourself a time machine and go back about 10 years.
