Looking into Cleveland Market

[Kevin Charles]

I was looking into a duplex on Thrush Ave in Cleveland zip code 44111. Can anyone give me some insight on the neighborhood?

@Kevin Charles be very aware of water/sewer/trash rates (which I assume are paid by the landlord), they are absurdly high for my duplex in 44111, and account for roughly 12% of gross rent.  So make sure the numbers work out with that expense.  Also I've only held in this zip code for about 2.5 years, but rents have not gone up at all in that time.
