If this is the case, we would need either some of the big repairs met, or a pretty drastic decrease in agreed price.

However, what I’m gathering is that what makes it beneficial is that your expenses decrease by having less wear and tear?  

We refinanced our house several years ago to decrease the length of our loan to 15 years which increased our monthly payment a little but has allowed us to make faster gains toward the pay off. 

I highly suggest making sure your lease options contracts are separate and are done correctly in order to decrease liability and maximize your returns.We market our properties by putting signs in the property or by hanging door hangers in the neighborhood.  

Like any storm, they are temporary and the sun does return.

Do you oversee large insurance claims, dealing with temporary housing for tenants when the house is unlivable?

@Bei He The only downside to that is you will be bringing down market value to the surrounding houses, if everyone does it, it will decrease all the segment or area down.

hi everyone,According to bestplaces.net stats , the population in Clevland has decreased by almost 19% between the years 2000-2017 (house depreciation 2008-2018: 30%ׁ)If the trend continues , I'm not going to see any appreciation in the near future.My question is how investors have the courage to invest in Cleveland according to this data? 

Thanks  @Jason DiClemente, @Mike D'Arrigo , and @Jaron Walling.Would you say you are seeing a 5-10% decrease in prices during the last quarter of the year?

That will decrease some of that subjectivity you mentioned.
