You'd have to narrow it down. I could tell you median rent comps are at $3200 for A class but thats in german village and wouldnt accurately reflect other A class areas. My best advise is to go Here https://www.rentometer.com/ and plug in addresses where youre interested.

Quote from @Vladimir Perez:

Hi, 

My brother and I are looking to invest in our first property. I currently live in Miami, FL and he lives in LA. We are open to long distance investment.
-Our capital is around 20-25k and we both have a great credit scores
-Turn key investment (We don't want to spend time fixing the property)
-Looking for a LT rental, single family home
-We were looking to get a home around 80k or less (to be able to cover the downpayment, closing costs, minor fixes).
-Looking for a market that could provide a good cashflow based on current market conditions
-Looking to do a conventional loan or DSCR

I am currently looking at: Columbus OH, Cleveland OH and Indianapolis IN.

Could you please let me know what markets are good markets based on these criteria and the current RE market?

Looking forward to connecting with you all! 

Best,
Vladimir


 Sounds like Cleveland is where you need to be looking. Seeing what you described often

Quote from @Eric Don:

Recently laid off, want to use saved up cash for good use. Seems like every asset in the US is unstable dont know where to put cash want to use real estate as business to grow wealth I have all the time, and I have the money to do so but need help and guidance on finding an opportunity. I understand the different processes, I prefer STR. I do not have any experience but I am committed to helping myself and making this work. Hard to trust anyone when times are rough and interests may not be aligned. Whats the best way I can get started. I've watched the videos, I've cold called superhosts, everything in the immediate LA market seems grossly not worth it. I'm lost. 27 years old btw.


 Get something to house hack. Then start investing in the midwest! Cleveland cashflows very well

Quote from @John Liberati:

Is anyone familiar with this location in Cleveland. I wanted to find out how is this location and if they know if the area is is trying to revitalize? Thank you


 Most of shaker heights is really good, the west end can be rough in some areas. if its 44122 its probably great, if its 44120 make sure you do your due diligence. If you drew a line up Lee rd up to van aken then followed van aken over, west of lee and below van aken gets progressively worse. Hope this helps!
