I have heard mixed reviews on East Cleveland and heard the tenants is an issue but I'm specifically looking to rent to s8 only for the guaranteed rent.

You and your legal, tax and financial advisors should review this transaction in greater detail, especially the PLRs, to ensure you understand the significant risks involved and are structuring the transaction as close as possible to the PLRs to mitigate some of the risks.

Have to start from scratch on reviews/super host status. 

Here is my two cents: When hiring a contractor for substantial renovations, start by researching local licensed and insured contractors with solid reviews.

People don’t want to share their quiet neighborhoods with renters who don’t value peace and quiet and a sense of community.  

You could have bought a house, or several, that would have doubled in value.
