@Daniel Harnsberger, I know this is an old post, but have you invested in Goldsboro yet. I’d like to get some ideas from you. I just bought a JW Hunter duplex but I am interested in buying more properties.

What time does it start?

Thanks man. You have been so helpful! I have been studying your blog post on grading the neighborhoods like my life depended on it! 

I will go ahead and remove Lakewood from my list because of the higher house prices and my top 4 then, based on your advice, is : (1). Euclid, (2) Garfield Heights, (3) South Euclid, and (4) Cleveland Heights. Does this look good?

Is it relatively safe to be looking at most houses in those 4 places or is it a street-to-street or block-to-block situation where one street is great for investment and the next one is a war zone?

Wow. Thanks for this information!!!!

I will definitely study Euclid and Garfield heights some more.

If I wanted to study around 4 or 5 areas, among this list, which other 3 areas would you pick: South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Lakewood, Maple Heights, Warrensville Heights? Why those areas?

I live in the Raleigh, NC area. I mainly do buy and hold and have been focusing on multifamily properties. I have a few multifamily properties here but it’s becoming hard to look for deals.

I have family who live in the Cleveland area. They live in North Royalton. They have lived there for 30+ years and know the area well. My sister-in-law is also a new realtor although she hasn't focused on investors. My family there also have contacts to plumers, electricians, etc. They will be my “boots on the ground “ so to speak. I lived in Pittsburgh, PA once and I'm somewhat familiar with Cleveland.

Here are my questions: 

1. What areas in Cleveland close to North Royalton would you recommend? 
2. Is Parma a good area for investing? My sister-in-law mentioned that. It's also right next to North Royalton. 
3. What’s a good price range to be focusing on? Why?
4. Do you recommend single family? Multi?

Thanks!

 Can you recommend a few zip codes or areas? I am looking for single family or multi family to buy and hold. Thanks!

 Do you have properties in Cleveland? What zip codes should I look at?

Hello all! I want to seek advice on a situation I am having in one of my properties in North Carolina.

• I inherited a tenant in a triplex that we acquired 4 years ago.
• At some point after we acquired the property, the tenant gets a dog.
• I advised the tenant that this is against the lease and they said they were just dog sitting.
• Several weeks ago, I confronted the tenant and they admitted it was their daughter's dog. Their daughter lives with them.
• I gave them a week to resolve the issue. We thought this was resolved
• However, my wife discovered they still had the dog. 
• We sent them a 5-Day Notice to Comply with Lease Agreement
• When they received the notice, they showed us a document that the dog is a registered service dog. It seemed that they only got this certificate a month ago.

I would appreciate any advice in the situation. 

Might be there.
