A collaboration of Cleveland’s own Top Professionals in Real Estate world with a Focus on Investing

A building’s original purpose doesn’t have to define its future.

For real estate investors, adaptive reuse creates an opportunity to look at existing properties differently. But changing a building’s use takes more than a good concept. The structure, renovation costs, zoning requirements, and demand for the new space all need to make sense.

Cleveland’s Erieview Tower redevelopment is an interesting case to watch because it raises a bigger question: how can investors find value in properties that no longer fit their original purpose?

The lesson isn’t that every struggling office building should become housing. It’s that sometimes the best opportunity comes from finding a use that fits the building and the market today.

If you were evaluating an older commercial property, what would you consider first: conversion costs, market demand, or the building itself?

Being busy and being productive aren’t always the same thing.

In real estate, it’s easy to measure a successful day by how many calls you made, how many tasks you handled, or how much you had going on. But if disorganization is causing missed follow-ups, wasted time, or lost opportunities, all that activity can come at a cost.

At our recent Invest CLE event, Isaac Rowe shared an honest lesson from his own experience: learning to manage his weaknesses, bring in the right people, and recognize the financial cost of disorganization.

Sometimes, growing your business means doing less on your own and building better systems around you.

Growing a real estate business isn’t just about doing more transactions. It’s about building a system that can handle the work behind them.

Without structure, even a growing business can become difficult to manage. Tasks pile up, priorities compete, and too much time gets spent figuring out what needs to happen next.

At our recent Invest CLE event, Journey Toole shared how organization and time-blocking have helped him manage the demands of his business.

The takeaway? You don’t have to keep everything in your head. Build processes that help you stay organized, protect your time, and keep things moving.

More financing options can help investors get into deals they might not have considered before. But getting approved is only one part of the equation.

With DSCR loans, the property’s ability to support its debt becomes a key part of the evaluation. That makes accurate rent estimates, realistic operating expenses, and a solid understanding of the property’s condition especially important.

This is particularly relevant when investing in areas like East Cleveland, where a property’s potential needs to be weighed against the actual cost of bringing it back into productive use.

Before pursuing financing, make sure the numbers work beyond the lender’s approval.

Would you consider a DSCR loan for your next rental property?

Buyers may want the look and feel of a new build, but that doesn’t mean every property needs to be brand new.

For investors renovating homes to sell, understanding current design trends can help guide decisions about flooring, finishes, colors, and the overall feel of a space.

Jenny Gennaro shared this perspective at a past Invest CLE event, highlighting how inspiration from high-end design can influence renovation choices and help investors create homes buyers want.

The key is knowing which design choices add appeal without spending beyond what the deal can support.

What design features make a renovated home feel more like new construction to you?

Leverage can help you grow faster, but it can also leave you with less room to recover when a deal doesn’t go as planned.

Before taking on debt, look beyond the purchase price and projected returns. Consider how the property performs when rent comes in lower than expected, repairs cost more, or vacancies last longer than planned.

The goal isn’t to avoid debt altogether. It’s to understand what you’re taking on and make sure the numbers still work when conditions change.

When you analyze a deal, do you stress-test the numbers before deciding how much debt to take on?
