The city's strong rental market driven by a growing population ensures a steady income stream and with affordability as well as a median home price below the national average, Cleveland stands out as an attractive option for those seeking a promising return.

I am starting from ground zero, with no prior background or capital to invest, but with a strong desire to create passive income for my family.I currently work as a middle school teacher in California, and while I love my profession, I have a strong desire to explore avenues that could potentially provide financial stability and additional income streams.

The tenant laws are constantly changing, but despite what the media says, most people are honest and pay their rent.

The biggest obstacle to overcome by far, is not so much that you need to find clients (although believe me, that's also difficult and is a constant effort until you're able to rely on referrals from past clients), but the customers you interact with need to trust you with their largest asset as a seller, and for one of the largest purchases they will make in their lives as a buyer. 

Many accountants like our firm have adjacent asset protection experience due to clients constantly asking us for this kind of stuff.

This could provide a steady stream of additional income while allowing you to stay in the home you like.Short-term rental: If renting out a room isn't feasible, you could explore the option of short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb.

The site has a stream and we are building community food gardens irrigated with drainage water for the 5 plex, plus shared outdoor spaces.

@Jacob Hafer, in most cases its a sunk cost and some landlords nefariously even use the application fee as an additional income stream.

Those who constantly say "sue them" are the ones who've never been involved in litigation.

Obviously we need to do some groundwork with the City planning department and potentially zoning.We are approached constantly by developers seeking to purchase the property for them to develop (everything from we want to build homes to help the environment to building condos for our 98 year old grandmother to live in).
