I was out of college (just earned my degree in Culinary Arts) and was constantly running out of money.

I'm particularly passionate about multifamily and syndication investing.Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling, martial arts, and photography.Excited to learn and connect with you all! 

Here are pockets I focus on for cash flow:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), BedfordHere are the areas that I focus on for appreciation:West side - Lakewood, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, Ohio City, Tremont (above 490)East side - Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Fairfax*I have a graded neighborhood map of these areas as well if you would like to check it out.

It’s more conservative, the city itself is established, older neighborhoods, better city amenities (museums, arts/music etc), more pro sports, more hills, bigger river, has a streetcar, arguably better nightlife overall.

I discovered working on computers was not in my DNA and switched to a degree in Finance.

There is the tactical "act" of underwriting, then there is the much more valuable "art" of underwriting.The act can easily be taught.  

In some older neighborhoods especially historic districts, the tenants look for older houses - they preferred the art deco bathroom tiles, the thick plaster & lath walls over granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.but class D neighborhoods are easiest to tell. 

However, as curiosity prodded, I looked into the degree that it is prohibitively expensive to consider just filing as a security anyway, irrespective of the pros and cons.Basically, I searched for "what are the costs for registering a security with the SEC" as well as "what are the costs for registering a syndication as a security with the SEC"Most the results produced explained something to the extent that the fee was about 150 bucks per million offered, without any other information on what would validate the explanation that filing a syndication as a security is prohibitively expensive.

My husband and I own a duplex in the heart of Bishop Arts that is a STR.

From sleek, modern warehouses to state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, the city's real estate offerings are equipped with every essential amenity.
