Where to purchase in Cleveland, Ohio?!!!

[Lisa Lavie]

Hey everyone,

I have a question for those of you who have invested in Ohio... Cleveland, Ohio in particular. I'm looking to purchase a buy and hold property in Cleveland in the next couple of months & I'm trying to figure out which area I should focus on. I'm an out of state investor however I'll be in town on for a few days during the holidays so I'm looking to cruise around different areas to scope out the area myself. I would just love any feedback or if anyone has particular area codes that I should look into, that would be GREAT!!!

I'm looking to purchase a property for 40K or less with a good ROI.

Thanks so much for all of your help. Much appreciated

Lisa :)

I would stick with the "Heights" suburbs such as @Isaac Rowe mentioned above.  Places like Bedford, Maple, Parma, Garfield, Shaker, University & Cleveland Heights.  Steer clear of east Cleveland or anything west along Detroit ave.  Take a look at crime plots such as Trulia's heat map, and you'll see the areas in red to avoid. And as mentioned above, should stick with $50K and over.
