I'm a local investor / agent in the area so let me know if there is anything else you may need help with. - Troy 

Some MLS boards will allow wholesalers (non owners with a purchase contract) to list the property with an agent in the MLS, some don’t.

I've had my head in books, scoured the web for every new term, researched the nitty gritty of any claimed new strategies I'd never heard of, been ripped off on a couple force fed guru "best way" webinar sales, backed out of a deal where they tried to stack the cards against me in a very sneaky way, passively attended a few meetups, talked to numerous lenders and even enrolled to get my Florida agent license. 

@Margaret MirasolaWe created a "Deep Dive" series here on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/99854-deep-dive-into-metro-detroit-cities-ecorse We're not aware of any other property manager, agent, turnkey provider, flipper or wholesaler that's made the commitment to do this!

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out! 

Talk to an insurance agent they will break things down for you. 

If you act as the agent for your LLC and use your personal address – guess what?

That one fact came from one of Lifestyles' successful real estate agents.  

I am a new investor and I am in the early phases of putting a team together to break into the Cleveland, Ohio Market.I would really appreciate it if you could please post or DM those PM's/Real Estate Agents/Lenders you would recommend (and also those to avoid).I know PM's could make or break your business, so that would be the priority; I would however like to get contacts for Real Estate Agents and Lenders as well.I would also appreciate if you could share your experiences, knowledge (areas to invest; areas to avoid), general tips etc.Thank you in advance!

Anyone that would reach out....Sellers, agents, we just want to start long term  connections.
