I am looking to gradually start buildling my team again and would appreciate solid references  for the following specifically in the Cleveland, Ohio area :- Investor friendly real estate agent - small bank lenders/ private lenderes- inspectors- appraisers- contractors Thanks in advance, and happy hunting :)

You could start an event on BP or meetup dot com.  

First I'd start with finding who the seller of C4D is.

I started investing 4 years ago doing BRRRR, right now I have a portfolio of 6 SFH worth around $1.1M with $600k in debt and around $1.5k monthly cash flow.

I started listening to the podcast and got hooked instantly.

I am currently employed in retail sales and am very excited to start my real estate investment portfolio!  

This could increase consistent revenue and give him the flexibility he needs to focus on really starting BRRR. 

I've owned since 2005 & it's been a total hands off investment with perks of being able to use the hotel.

And you are totally right, bookkeeping is a headache no matter what unless you're just really good at it, but necessary for your business. 

Recently I started using nationwide title companies to pull title reports for me as I get them to also confirm if the title is insurable.
