Buy and holds in Cleveland, Ohio

[Carlos Hidalgo]

Hello everyone. I am a new investor, and I am mainly interested in buy and holds. I have a private lender who is willing to lend to me as long as I have a plan. Cleveland to me looks like it would be a nice place in terms of cashflow since properties there are not so expensive compared to many of the other areas that I have looked at. For anyone who is familiar with the Cleveland area, does anyone know where the places would be to look for with respect to finding C+ or B- properties. Also, are there any property managers or contractors that you would recommend? Also, I know this is a little unrelated, but to those of you that reply to this, do you have experience with long distance real estate investing? The reason I ask is because I live out of state and I am curious as to how different that process is compared to investing close to where you live? Thanks.
