Investing in muliunit Cleveland Heights or surrounding area

[Mac McDonald]

I’m looking to invest in my first rental property that would ideally be a multi unit of some sort. The plan would be to provide a place for my dad to live on one side (paying rent) and watch over the other properties in the building. When I see these units (duplexes, 4 plexes, etc) it seems too good to be true.

How is the rental market in these areas?

Is there growth in this market?

I would be out of state, what are some property management companies I should look into?

Thanks for your time.
