New investor with questions about Cleveland suburbs

[Brandon Davis]

Hey guys and gals Im currently researching buying my first rental property and have some questions for investors who are in the Parma/South Euclid area. From what ive seen Cleveland has a whole slew of nice taxes and a POS system that many people arent aware of. Being that im in southern California I would like some advise on what to look out for and any hidden expenses I may over look from lack of area knowledge. 

Thanks Brandon!

@Brandon Davis Welcome to BP! 

I buy everywhere EXCEPT the Republic of East Cleveland. LOL

It is really deal by deal. For example Shaker hts has really high taxes and a POS, but if you are buying cheap enough over there, it is worth it. 

Some burbs have low taxes and no POS, but if the deal is too expensive, it does not matter. 

Nothing really to look out for except rural areas have well and septic that can bite ya, but that is case by case as well. 

Find a deal, bring it on here, or heck even PM me and hidden landmines can be found pretty quickly. 

Hope that helps, I know I was not specific, but really is a deal by deal basis. 

Good luck!
