Quote from @Jonathan R McLaughlin:

@Robert Flores good advice here and I’d respect the difficulties but not necessarily fear them. You have several generations of systems and components in there so lots may be newish.

That age is more common than not over here…but definitely get used to hearing some version of…” I don’t know why the hell they did it this way, now we have to…”

 @Jonathan R McLaughlin I agree. The reason I post this topic here is I don't know what I am doing. Likely, I have tons of investors who shared their knowledge with a newbie and I greatly appreciate it. The more I know the better would be my next decision.

Quote from @Nick Shri:

So you have got plenty of advice. Try to pull the necessary advice into meaningful actionable tasks/steps you must perform on the property or any other future properties you pursue. 

Proper Cleveland has lead law (not sure when it will be enforced), however given current market conditions you may find sellers willing to either make concessions or outright fix lead issues. The later is least likely.

Most (suburb) Heights have Point of Sale, educate yourself on this.

Search James Wise Neighborhood Grade blog to understand different Neighborhood grades.

CoC is an interesting metric, it may look great or terrible on paper because of the assumptions you make. Just have few extra eyes check it out.. BP forum is good place to have it reviewed.

Take a deep breath and welcome to getting started in the REI journey.

 @Nick Shri I've created a list of all the advice I got and I will definitely use them in my journey. 

Indeed the CoC is an interesting metric. I am very conservative and I would like to minimize oppss in my first deal.

I will look for the James Wise Neighborhood Grade blog to understand different Neighborhood grades to educate myself.

Thanks, @Garrett Dilley. I am waiting for the maintenance record from the seller to see what was repaired in the past months/years. I tried to check the Cleveland website but not sure what I am looking for. I will check with my realtor if that's possible. 

Definitely I am learning and blessed by so many minds that willing to share their knowledge.
