Are there any other areas nearby that you feel do better on account of PS various ordinances and restrictions?

However, I'd like the exterior of the building to be in at least decent condition.Lastly, I'd like the immediate neighborhood to be at least mildly walkable, with at least one store, one restaurant (fast food or otherwise), and whatever nearby. 

@Fred ConwayI'm not too afraid of diversifying, I really wanted to have all of my properties located somewhat nearby so that if I ever wanted to take over property management, I would be able to do that.

You do have the likes of AAPL, FB, and other tech cos that do have massive stockpiles of cash, but I bet they're just waiting for good deals and not necessarily hoarding just to hoard, imho.

Others I found through other nearby hosts.Maybe instead of calling ads, try finding cleaning people who already have jobs and are looking for side work.Another option is to reach out to other nearby hosts and share their cleaning staff.

Oh how I wish I could turn back the clock...Having said that, in the event that this is a case of an over-conservative banker (maybe they have fresh wounds from other nearby properties) or simply a matter of you talking to the wrong bank (not every bank finances everything, their appetite for loans can be specialized or even change over time), you do have options.

More hip than nearby Saline, Canton, or Belleville. 

Charge: Evaluate and make recommendations on the City’s zoning and other laws to determine whether there are limitations on the ability of short-term vacation rental uses to operate in the City and to ensure their compatibility with other adjacent or nearby uses if they were allowed.

Thanks for the feedback - this helps reinforce my thoughts with the pool area, we did tinker with this thought, I was coming up with a similar theory- also being in Cleveland, Ohio - our pool season is maximum 4-5 months, considering the proximity to the lake with this building, residents will have access to public beach nearby 

I guess many never did...learn it that is), I calculate that if all goes well, it will take approx. 5.5 years to have enough cash stock piled away to pay for that roof.But wait, before those 5 years are reached, we had a vacancy (what are the odds?)
