Quote from @Anthony Roberts:
Is there someplace that we can type in an address and see what type of neighborhood it is? I would like to only invest in B and C neighborhoods. I've been checking properties online. It would be great if I could find out what type of neighborhood it is by typing in an address.
Can I ask you why are you only looking into B and C areas in Cleveland? Cleveland is very block by block so I would recommend working with locals who know the areas inside and out.
Also, what are you trying to achieve with your investment? Is it appreciation or is it cash flow? Unfortunately you can't achieve both in Cleveland since the areas that have gentrified already have gone up extensively in price so you will be hoping for future appreciation and won't be cash flowing.
Vadim, I am looking into the B and C neighborhoods because I want to have as few problems as possible. I thought I had a good agent but it's not working out. I told him several times what I wanted and even gave him examples. He keeps sending me what he wants me to see. He also tried to suggest I pay 20 thousand over asking.
Since I'm just starting out, I am looking for cash flow. Once I have a few properties, I will look for appreciation.
