(Assuming quality of service doesn’t decrease.)No matter how you look at it, that is a ton of money.

@Melissa SejourRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Zachary,Your concerns about Cleveland are valid—high property taxes and stagnant population growth are definitely challenges to consider.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

As you already know, the quality of the investor agent will speed up your learning curve, and save you money, time, and headaches. 

Saturation is definitely upon us but quality product continues to get booked just like other markets.

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.

Did have high quality photos/ great listing title and description?

Simple touches like fresh paint, landscaping, and clean walkways can make a big difference.Highlight Key Features: During the appraisal, point out any high-quality materials or unique features you've added.

I'd underwrite the deal as any other - make sure you are conformable with the quality & tenant base.
