Congrats on the purchase! Looks like a solid property in a solid location. If I may make a suggestion, you should try to contest the assessed value with Cuyahoga County. You'll likely be able to knock a few bucks off of your tax bill. The county has it valued currently at $105.8K... an adjustment downward will cumulatively save you well over $1K over the next few years. You can file the complaint online for free in early 2020, and you don't need to show up in person for the hearing if you have a well-documented case for lowering the value. Feel free to shoot me a private message if you'd like advice on how to navigate it.
