Neither of us own a home or have any experience in real estate so I have been looking into BRRRR or house hacking either a duplex or a triplex in the Cleveland area.

They cater more to traveling professionals. 

Hey BP,I'm looking to connect with investors, GCs, Builders who have experience in new construction, ideally taking infill lots and building small multis.

If so, what’s your experience been?

@Robert Brown personally I'd avoid Sosua, as it's a destination for sex tourism.There is also Santo Domingo, which attracts business travellers as well and the nearby beach city of Juan Dolio.

I'm an agent with Village Properties and would be super happy to chat with you one-on-one about all I've learned in my remodel experience and as a local realtor.

There is much debate about that but ideally you’ll talk to an experienced agent who can advise based upon experience as compared to an experienced insurance sales person who can sell. 

Reading a lot of books, listening to podcasts, etc. and just looking to bounce ideas off other real estate investors in the area that may be just starting too or have more experience than I do.

Any tips, resources, or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to propose a thought experiment in hopes of sparking a discussion on what the practical strategies to achieving financial success are and what the necessary disciplines one must apply to get there.
