Cleveland Market 2019

[Charlene Isoh]

Hi fellow biggerpockets colleagues!!!!...I have been studying various markets looking to make my first solo rental property investment for quite sometime and living in expensive markets (i now reside in DC) without a vehicle it's been a bit of a challenge finding a market within my range. As markets continue to rise around me I have finally made the leap to look into Cleveland as it fits my criteria (I'm a cashflow person (appreciation is a plus but not a necessity) and conservative when it comes to what i'm looking for properties in C+ and above working class areas where vacancy rates are not high, tenants are stable, and listing price is no more than 80k (cashflowing around 200-300 after all expenses would be a sweet spot). I have the means to start pulling the trigger on growing my portfolio but lack a trustworthy base in that area that could assist. Being a green investor i would love references to investor friendly real estate agents and any bit of advise that theoretical data and google searches can't provide to me not being in the Cleveland market...i really appreciate your time in reading this message!
