My husband started a business recently so income isn't steady and my income is on the lower end and we are struggling to cover our expenses since we have so many high interest loans.So my question is like this:1.

Cleveland's strong rental market driven by a growing population makes it a great starting point ensuring a steady income stream.

For a long term healthy market (which I would argue is most important) we should prefer a more steady / predictable price appreciation, not something this rapid.

. - One possible solution would be to keep the existing boiler/baseboard system for backup and/or use in extreme cold (possibly triggered by an outside temperature sensor).

How steady is your income? 

Not a steady rate and can change all too quickly with recessions, trends, seasons, etc.If it doesnt work as an LTR, don't buy it as an STR!

While still technically in seller’s market territory, inventory is well above extreme lows seen in recent years and has held steady for many months now.

IG: @MattPriestJr I have properties that I rent by the room in King/Pierce/Snohomish Counties.Many pro tips.For heating, I use Nest Thermostat and "lock" the temperature on 68 degrees. 

Renting to travel nurses and corporate housing can be a great way to generate steady income from your property.To attract potential renters, you may want to consider listing your condo on websites such as Furnished Finder, Travel Nurse Housing, and Corporate Housing by Owner.

Columbus indeed offers promising opportunities for real estate investment, given its diverse industries and steady population growth.
