Hey Simon, welcome to the BP community!

The cash investor who "saw the property on zillow" but doesn't really understand what REO means or how the banks operate. 

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

This really depends on what your looking to do however for a very basic overview far west side is great, downtown and very close to the Cleveland Clinic, Little Italy, Tremont, and Ohio City are still great areas.

Hey Connor, Welcome to the Forums.Wishing you the best as you plan for your first rental.

Best,David T. 

This tenant has very rude, accusing and agressive.

The data @Devin Conley posted is pretty solid from my experience (I do not know Devin nor how he sourced the data, just going by my own investing experience).  

However, when the first buyers failed to come through with cash as specified in their terms, the seller pulled out and offered us the opportunity to purchase the property at the asking price, and we did.

Would love to chat sometime over the next few weeks if possible.
