Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

I am convinced because listings sites pick markets they think make them more money to advertise.

Which ones will still deliver in a down market? 

Hey Rosendo,After 20 years in the game, owning 32 properties and managing 300+, I’ve seen a range of markets and strategies.

Cleveland is a great market, but hopefully my warning here will help you avoid the headaches I endured.

Warn them in the marketing (example: "This is an old house and noise travels between units.

What are you all seeing in the market right now?

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

We weren't super happy with anything we were seeing on the market, so my husband and I had just started writing letters and looking off-market... until we saw this property.It'd been sitting on the market for months.

Unless you've done substantial improvements to the building or used a large down payment when buying, it's unlikely this will work.Perhaps your best move is to find a new primary residence that is 2-4 units and repeat the process.
