My two bedroom is currently being rented out for 1900 and the training is coming in the spring.  

Learn how to consistently hit singles and doubles, and don't be ashamed to take the occasional walk. 5 years is a very short time frame to go from no RE to financially free (although you may already have property, which is an awesome start). 

My property taxes more than doubled once the county found out I was renting it out and not living there - they mailed me something and it bounced back showing them California address (mail forwarding lasts a year).

I'm looking to start investing in Cleveland, and was looking at some 3 bedroom properties.

If the loan is maturing in the next few months, the owner has no way to refinance at the current high rate, since the cash flow will not qualify for the double high interest rate.

Purchase price: $167,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Contributors: Michael Sgandurra This was a value-add BRRRR deal next to Nationwide Children's Hospital. 5-bed rooms and 1.5 baths.

Only you can answer that as it's really an educated guess.Another option would be to get a roommate in every bedroom for more cashflow and use that cashflow to either:1) Save up for next down payment (maybe 20%?)

Completely renovated main level:* Demoed and redid kitchen with new appliances* Refinished floors and reglazed bathroom* Replaced the roofComplete demoed and finished the basement and landscaping* Replaced half bath with full and added 2 bedrooms* Replaced entire plumbing including sewer line* Added second washer dryer* installed stamped concrete patio and walkway plus fence* All new landscapingWhat was the outcome?

We want to rent out the basement as a one-bedroom apartment to defray the mortgage cost.

Min is 3200, but the bigger the better.
