Opinions On Investing In Cleveland Ohio At A Distance
Hello all! I was curious if anyone had any advice or opinions about investing in Cleveland Ohio at a distance? I'm new to real estate investing, and this seems like a good spot to start due to the low cost for homes that rent reasonably well.

Hey Michael! I live in the Bay Area as well, and I have been investing in the Cleveland area for years! I currently own 8 rental properties there.
I've gathered a ton of information on investing in the Cleveland area, and would be happy to share it with you if you are interested. It includes, among other things, a comprehensive map of the Cleveland area, grading each area from A+ down to F, using a consistent, objective and transparent methodology using publicly available data. Like others have said, it is crucial for you to do a LOT of due diligence... research research research before you plunk down money into an investment.
Feel free to add me as a connection and drop me a private message!
