Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I didn't buy it anyway.

Are you considering moving to the market where you buy your next property?

Would also love to connect with experienced Cleveland rental investors.Much Thanks Cleveland is one of the few markets in the USA where buying stuff with the 2% rule is still feasible in 2023.

I buy real estate but I carry debt which is actually tax deductible, my money works for me.

I'm in Chesterfield as well, looking to buy.   

This poses the opportunity to acquire a distressed property today, spend the next 3 years to fully stabilize the property, capitalizing on the coming spike in rent growth, falling vacancy, falling interest rates, and compressing cap rates for multifamily real estate in the D.C. metro, as well as the option to hold the property as a safe and lucrative long term investment given the macro factors coming to Washington D.C. and the fundamentals of the multifamily sector.Cap Rates, Interest Rates, and the Best Sellers to Target to Get Deals DoneMarket Cap Rate, DC Metro, (1/7/2025) Period Market Cap Rate 2030 5.1% 2029 5.1% 2028 5.2% 2027 5.3% 2026 5.4% 2025 EST 5.6% 2025 YTD 5.7% 2024 5.7% 2023 5.6% 2022 4.9% 2021 4.4% 2020 4.8% 2019 5.0% 2018 5.1% 2017 5.1% 2016 5.1% 2015 5.0% 2014 5.1% 2013 5.3% 2012 5.3% 2011 5.3% 2010 5.5% 2009 6.2% 2008 6.2% 2007 5.5% 2006 5.4% 2005 5.6% 2004 6.1% 2003 6.7% 2002 7.3% 2001 7.9% 2000 8.4% Cap RatesIn the next few months, cap rates on the right deals should be rising, making it an opportune time to buy.

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"

We're at the point where we're going to buy an appartment in Dubai. 

How long ago did you buy?
