Bedford vs Maple Heights vs Garfield Heights, Lyndhurst etc
Hi everyone, I'm new here and finally decided to get into the rental real estate market. I live in the South Eastern suburbs of Cleveland and am looking for a rental property 15-20 miles from our home. Some of the areas that look promising are Bedford, Maple Heights, Garfield Heights and Lyndhurst. Parma is also promising but it's over 20 miles from our home so looking at it as a backup at the moment
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about these cities especially folks who have experience renting out in these cities. Reading around on the forum Bedford seems to have tightened their inspection while Maple Heights is even more restrictive and requires an inspection every time a new tenant signs up. Is there a difference in water / sewer bills? Anything else we need to be aware of in these towns?
Would you recommend one city over another? If so what would be the reasons? Pros and cons etc
Thanks!
