I was an avid golfer from basically 10 years old until I moved out of CA .. with northwest winters its just too cold for golf and wet..

and this will be in the COLD weather months in Cleveland? 

I have rentals in Cleveland which is also a cold weather environment so we face the same thing in the winter time.

I agree with Michele, plus it is Oct 26, so just turn it on if the weather is cold enough. 

Cold call.

Hi Harrison, get your name out there- go to your local investment group meetups, network on biggerpockets and on social media, do your research via books, biggerpockets, podcasts, etc. so that you know your stuff, and then reach out to agents, other investors, and lenders via cold calling or through email.

It rarely snows here or even get cold enough to have to salt the roads.

I was thinking of backtracking for phone numbers and doing a couple hours of cold calling a day.

Deals exist, but I got this off market from a cold call.

You might want to consider pressing charges if the broker gives you any grief (which I doubt he/she would).
