I think the first thing you should do in this situation is figure out what you are trying to achieve and what your end goal is. 

Again just to reiterate, this is specifically for those who are NON-US citizens.I know my questions are very in-depth and seem complicated but no one in the Bigger pockets podcasts talks about how non US citizens or non-resident aliens deal with wanting to buy real estate and attempt to real their goals of achieving FIRE. 

My primary focus right now is Duplex/Triple & REI investments, with a goal of achieving financial freedom.

Basically, the higher the ROI you want, the more riskier properties you'll be forced to target.

If you’re looking at Cleveland, the west side is often a great choice since you can achieve both appreciation and cash flow in neighborhoods like South Hills and Edgewater.

This approach isn't for everyone, so that's why we've targeted a specific clientele (specifically, hands-off second home owners) to make our model work. 

I targeted renters who pay on time, stay long-term, and care for the property.

Cash Flow and Appreciation: DSTs typically target consistent cash flow rather than high appreciation.
