I know this is historically a rough area but I have heard rumors that is is up and coming with the $$ the Cleveland Clinic is putting into their expansion.

I like to look at the historical submarket cap rate over the last 20-30 years and compare to the current spread.

There is a property I am very interested in that is on a good sized lot in the downtown historic area in my city. 

A robust rental market with low vacancies and excessive demand is good for house hacking, while historic belongings appreciation rates can upload to the overall return on funding.

My personal interest is in rental property investment. how much minimum income needed to start real estate investing in British Columbia, Vancouver or Alberta, Calgary region. with current affordability I can only purchase one 2 bed condo. with current rental market its not possible to generate +ve cash flow with even 20% Downpayment. curious how people are making money or is this just real estate scam to sell properties? 

Love living here as well, big city but has a lot of small town touches, Theme Parkes, historic attractions, military bases, great food, and friendly residents.

If I could buy and hold a Courtyard District Historical Apartment Building right there on the north side of Fountain right before one spills over down La Cienega into WeHo it would be heaven for me.Also, you can get a lot of location use out of your exteriors because you would have both the "Old Hollywood" and "Hip Youngster Who Found a Cool Historical Place to Live" looks for film and TV.

If so, this property is going to be very slow to provide decent cash flow  - at that price, $125k, it shows poor historical appreciation.
