Are you investing in your local market?

That seems to be harder in Cleveland than in our other markets.  

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

Last year, I purchased a SFH under market at 7.65% interest rate and did some rehab to up the value.

I almost exclusively sell bank foreclosures for a large asset management company, and I also do a lot of marketing for wholesale deals.

We invest in Idaho, probably the most landlord friendly market in the country, had good luck there. 

I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!

@Angel Mora which market are you in?

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

It's important to know what market rents are for what you are analyzing, many properties are super under rented and you have to get them to market rates.
