I'd be happy to send you a list if contacts that could be helpful to get you started in Cleveland.

I feel like Vancouver is a nice size - big enough to find quality property management and trades, but small enough to be a little less urban.If this is an area you'd like to live in the future it may make a lot of sense.I might suggest a three bedroom, but will be interesting to see what others think. 

I'm from California but I have started my real estate journey here in Indianapolis.

@MichaelNalbandianI started about 18 months ago in the Riverside area.  

When you make every effort to help people and forget about your own profits, that's when magic starts happening. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Where does one start with a project like that.

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!

@Chris Seveney, we own one investment property and have some money in retirement, but we just started saving so its not a large amount yet, so I wouldn't say we have a ton of assets at this point.

I will also be needing an agent soon to help me find the right property to start out with.
