Cleveland acquisition
Your acquisition team on the ground in Cleveland, for investors who live somewhere else. We walk every property in person and show you what is wrong with it before you offer.
The ZIP grades are free, no account. Nothing owed until a deal closes.
What lands in your portal
This is how a deal arrives: walked, photographed, checked against public record and scored at the price being asked. Including the ones we tell you to walk away from.
Matched, not blasted. Your buy box decides which of these reach you at all.
Want the full room on any of these, with the county record, the comps and the failing checks?

The deal
Vacant since June and priced to move. Cosmetic only: paint, floors, a kitchen refresh and one bath. Mechanicals were replaced by the last owner in 2019 and the roof has roughly ten years left. Brooklyn schools, and the street holds its value.

How it works
Four steps between telling us what you buy and holding the keys, without you getting on a plane. Then the part most people forget to plan for.
Price range, area grade, doors, exit and funding. One box, once, and it filters everything after it.
Pulled from every list worth being on, walked in person, then scored at the price being asked before you ever see it.
The failing ones are the point. If a deal does not work, the room says so.
The part that stops most out of state buyers. Financing, the entity, title, escrow and a remote closing, handled end to end.
We hold the keys for the appraisal and the inspection. You never fly in.
Pick what matches what you are missing in Cleveland. None of it is bundled, none of it is required, and each one is its own agreement.
Our vendors, our scopes, paid by phase on sign off.
Per projectKeep your contractor. We are the eyes on the day, before a draw.
Per visitLocal Agent in Charge, registration, lead safe, inspections.
Per propertyIt starts with the buy box. Two minutes now, fifteen on a call, and nothing owed until a deal closes.

Columns describe categories of service, not any one company. Individual providers vary and some do more than the column suggests.
If the honest answer is that you should do it yourself, use the numbers and do it yourself. The worked example stays up either way.
Straight answers
Pick what you are actually worried about. No sales team, no script, just the answers I give people on the phone anyway.
Founder, REINovation
I built this because I got tired of watching out of state investors buy a photograph. The person who walks the property should be the same one who is still there when the furnace goes out, and on most deals those are two different companies who never speak to each other.
Everything on this page, the grade, the six checks, the deal room, is what I use on my own purchases. If a number would stop me buying, you see it too.
Ask me anything on this list.
You never fly in. We walk it, photograph and video every room, and put a contractor through it before you ever see a number. Title and escrow are coordinated for you, we hold the keys for the appraisal and the inspection, and the closing happens remotely with every document reviewed with you before you sign. The first one is the one we hold your hand through. By the third you will be telling us which streets you want.
Yes, and you will see it yourself. Every deal gets six checks scored at the price being asked, and the ones that fail sit in your deal room in red. We are paid when a deal closes, so I understand exactly why you are asking. The answer is that one bad closing costs me a client and every referral behind them. One skipped deal costs me a week.
Longer than anyone selling you a course will say. Finding a deal that fits a real buy box takes weeks. Diligence, funding and closing take another few. What we cut is the wasted part, the months lost to bad fit listings, a rehab number that was a guess, and discovering the city rules after a letter arrives.
No. Financing is arranged through Modern Financial, NMLS 2703039, if you want that part handled. You are free to use your own lender and plenty of people do. We are not a lender and we do not make, process or fund loans.
The opposite. Keep your crew. What most people are missing is not labour, it is a set of eyes. We inspect against the written scope rather than against a feeling, photograph what is actually there on the day, and time the visit before a draw, which is when it matters most. You keep the relationship and lose the blind spot.
No. We are not a property manager and we are never the contractor. We are the operations layer that a manager is missing. On the properties you pick, we run the project, verify your crew, or act as your local agent of record with the city. None of it is bundled and none of it is required.
Nothing until a deal closes. The acquisition fee lands on the closing and it is agreed in writing before we start any work, so you will never see an invoice you did not already sign off. I do not publish a number because the fee moves with what a deal actually needs, and a figure sitting on a website is a promise nobody made to you.
It is really free. No account, no card, no call. Type an address and you get the county record, the area grade, open violations, the rent benchmark and the numbers at the asking price. It is a lead magnet in the sense that I hope you like it. It is not one in the sense of holding anything back.
Priced separately, per project, per visit or per property, under its own agreement. It is a different decision from the purchase and you can take none of it. Project work is paid by phase, and nothing is paid for until the phase it belongs to is signed off.
Because I am here and my people are here. Being the operations layer means somebody actually has to show up, and you cannot do that from a spreadsheet in another state. We grade fifty one ZIP codes against county, HUD and Census data and we know which streets hold their value. I would rather be right about one market than vague about ten.
The math still works here in a way it does not on the coasts, rents clear against purchase prices. The catch is that the difference between a street that holds and one that does not can be three blocks. That is the entire reason the area grade rides on every deal we send you instead of sitting in a report nobody reads.
That is what Local Agent in Charge exists for. The city requires you to name a local person and we are that name. Rental registration is filed yearly with the city fee covered, lead safe is tracked with the annual on site visit, and we open the door for Section 8 and CMHA inspections. Best set up before a letter arrives, not after one does.
Photographs with dates, phase by phase, in your portal, plus a register of every system in the building with its make, year and warranty. Paying somebody to be there is worthless if you cannot see what they did.
