Would love to connect further!

Connect with other investors and make sure you always have a solid plan.

I am relatively close to hospitals on the East side of Cleveland, as well as other hospitals in other surrounding cities, so I think that I am in a good location for this.

If you're making a big move like this it would be wise to make sure you live as close as possible to where you plan to invest.Beyond that, simply being open to the idea that you may not enjoy living there and acting accordingly would be my best advice.

Networking with investor friendly agents that have local connections is a good start

I would like to connect. 

This is one of the better new investor posts I have read in a while because you know to stay in your day job and earn money to invest and you are also way ahead of the curve thinking about syndication (as close to passive as you can get) over flipping (don't do that with friends).Your job for the next months would be to go to every meetup locally that you can and read books focused on what you are thinking about first.

I am putting 20 % down ( 90K) but I see there is about 27K in fees and closing cost.

I'd recommend first reaching out to a Realtor in the area that can advise on the value of different projects, and they can also help you connect with a lender who can give you HELOC and other potential options!

Fortunately, I have a connection in Colorado who is a general contractor (GC), and I engaged their services for the renovation.
