Rental Property Analysis

[Joseph R Fornwalt]

Buy and hold investor in the cleveland area, looking primarily at lakewood, parma, berea, fairview park. I focus on duplexes in lakewood but have looked at other sfr in these other areas, and it doesn't matter how I break it down but I cant even come close to making the numbers work know any of these markets. I'm talking negative monthly cashflow upward of -100/month and coc returns under 8%. I know people are making it happen in these areas so I have to be miscalculating somewhere. I've been looking g and analyzing consistently for about 14 months now. I want 10% coc with $100 a door. Interested in owner occupying one unit of a duplex. Any insight would be of great value.
