Ultimately I am at a point where I know i need to jump in and figure out if this RE investing is for me and there is only so much you can learn from books and podcast.High level of what type of deals I will be looking forProperty Type: multi-family 2-4 unitsLocation: Cleveland, OH ( C+ neighborhoods )Condition: property that allows value add would be great (but as a new investor may be more than i can handle) so also considering turnkey.

Can anyone provide references for a sound property managment company in Cleveland.

I would like to warn other investors about Realty Trust property Management in Cleveland Ohio, I had such a bad experience and want to warn others.... they will talk a good deal upfront but as soon as you sign up it is one of the most awful experiences I have ever had, When you don't live in the city you own a property in you turn your trust over to others and with this team, boy what a HUGE Mistake.....I had tenants who were so unhappy, miss-communicated with, I had to do major damage control after, I've been charged for work that never took place and been totally taken advantage of, Please be warned.If anyone knows of someone good in Cleveland please let me know, Thank you

I am based in Toronto and I own a property in the east end of Cleveland. 

If your research says "Cleveland is the next San Jose!"

I operate in Cleveland & focus 100% of my efforts & content to those who've come to the conclusion that that's the market they want to do business in.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

A city like Cleveland is great for cash flow. 

@V.G Jasonmy point is just that house hacking is lower risk than, say, buying a random property thousands of miles away and hoping for the best (like the CA investor buying in Cleveland thread that we both just commented in).i didn't say no risk - all RE involves risk.

You can find exactly what you are looking for in Cincinnati, even places like Columbus and Cleveland!
