We buy Cleveland homes to keep them.
Joey X Matt Ventures is a privately owned real estate company building a long-term rental portfolio in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. We buy single family homes and small multifamily, renovate them properly, and hold them.
A small owner, run by the two people who sign.
We are not a fund and we are not a call center. Joey and Matt started Joey X Matt Ventures LLC to own rental property in Cleveland for the long run, and every offer we send is approved by one of us.
Most of the homes we look at are listed on the MLS. That means our best relationships are with the agents who list them, and we treat those relationships as the asset. A deal that doesn't work today is a reason to stay in touch, not to disappear.
-
Buy to hold
Our default plan for a house is to renovate it, rent it, and keep it. We underwrite for a building we will own for years, not a quick resale.
-
Agents are the relationship
We would rather close the third deal with you than squeeze the first one. You will talk to the same person from the first call to the closing table.
-
Straight answers
Clear written offers and realistic timelines. If something real comes up after inspection, you hear it from us directly, with the numbers behind it.
-
Rent ready, done right
We renovate to Cleveland's rental standards, including lead safe certification on homes built before 1978.

How a deal with us works
The same four steps on every property, whether it is listed or not.
-
Send it over
An address and MLS number is enough. Use the form below, call, or email us directly.
-
We underwrite it
We run rents, renovation, and city requirements, and ask the questions we need answered.
-
Written offer
You get our terms in writing, approved by Joey or Matt, not a verbal number that changes later.
-
Close
We work with your title company and keep you updated until the deed records.
Who we work with
Listing agents
Investor friendly or not, we make offers you can take to your seller with a straight face, and we follow up on every one.
Property owners
Landlords ready to sell, inherited homes, or buildings that need more work than you want to take on. Talk to us directly.
Local partners
Contractors, property managers, lenders, and title companies who want steady work with an owner that keeps buying.
Send us a property
Tell us about the house and how to reach you. Joey or Matt, or someone on our acquisitions team, will follow up.
Submitting a property costs nothing and doesn't commit you or your seller to anything.
Property submission
Takes about two minutes. Fields marked optional can be left blank.
