🚨 Want to know why some investors make money on flips while others get buried in rehab costs?

It’s not luck.

The best investors know how to buy right, budget right, and avoid the mistakes that kill profits before the project even gets started.

At our next Invest CLE event, we’re pulling back the curtain on rehab deals and fix-and-flip strategies with two operators who have seen the wins, the losses, and everything in between.

Whether you’re planning your first flip or looking to improve your numbers on your next one, this is the kind of conversation that can save you time, money, and expensive lessons.

And as always, it’s not just about the speakers.

It’s about being in a room full of investors, lenders, agents, contractors, and operators actively doing deals right here in Cleveland.

Tenant screening isn’t getting easier, it’s getting harder.

At our last event, Laird Wynn talked about how AI is changing the game for landlords and property managers. Fake pay stubs, fake documents, fake income verification — and some of it looks completely real.

The biggest risk today isn’t just bad tenants. It’s bad information.

That’s why strong screening processes matter more than ever. Investors and property managers can’t rely on surface-level verification anymore. You have to slow down, double-check, and use better systems.

Technology is evolving fast, and the people managing properties need to evolve with it too.

More real conversations and insights like this coming from Invest CLE. Stay tuned and follow for upcoming event updates.

While a lot of markets are slowing down, Cleveland keeps moving differently.

Median home prices here are still climbing, inventory is rising faster than the national average, and well-positioned properties are continuing to move quickly.

That combination matters.

More inventory creates opportunity and negotiating power, but strong listings still don’t sit long. The investors winning right now are the ones who are prepared before the deal hits.

This market is creating a rare mix:
More options. More leverage. Still enough demand to support strong assets.

And that’s exactly why more investors from higher-priced markets are paying attention to Cleveland.

The market may be shifting toward buyers, but waiting too long can still mean missing solid opportunities.

Curious how other investors are looking at Cleveland right now? Let’s talk in the comments.

Real conversations, real strategies, and a room full of investors looking for smarter ways to make properties perform in today’s market.

From STR underwriting to co-living setups and maximizing income per property, this wasn’t surface-level networking, it was operators sharing what’s actually working right now.

Big thank you to Dan Mitchen, Anthony Citraro, and Chuck Imm for bringing real insight and value to the room.

And shoutout to everyone who showed up ready to connect, learn, and talk real deals.

This is exactly what Invest CLE is about!

More events, more conversations, and more opportunities coming soon. Stay tuned!

2026 changed the rules for wholesalers in Ohio.

Senate Bill 155 is now law, and disclosure is no longer optional. If you’re assigning contracts, sellers now have to be clearly informed — and if the required disclosures aren’t signed properly, they can cancel the deal before closing.

At the same time, new FinCEN reporting requirements are adding another layer of compliance for LLCs, trusts, and certain cash transactions.

What used to slide under the radar won’t anymore.

The investors who last in this market won’t be the ones trying to work around the rules. They’ll be the ones who understand them and operate professionally.

Because in 2026, compliance isn’t a suggestion. It’s part of the business.

Quick check: if someone audited your last wholesale deal today, would everything hold up?

2026 Cleveland isn’t rewarding the most optimistic investors anymore. It’s rewarding the ones who can still make deals work today.

The market shifted.

Buyers are underwriting more conservatively. Strong assets are still moving, but the weak deals are getting exposed fast. And cash flow is carrying more weight than appreciation stories.

The “easy money” era created a lot of lazy investing habits. That’s changing now.

Today’s market is rewarding operators who know how to analyze properly, structure smart deals, and execute without relying on perfect conditions.

Because in this environment, ex*****on matters again.

Quick check: would your current deals still make sense if rates stayed where they are for the next 12 months?

A lot of investors spend all their time analyzing the property… but forget to fully verify the tenant situation attached to it.

Lease terms, payment history, occupancy details — those things matter just as much as the building itself. Small oversights before closing can easily turn into expensive surprises after.

At our last event, David Streeter shared why understanding exactly what you’re stepping into is such a critical part of buying tenant-occupied properties.
