My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that. 

How much monthly discretionary income do you have?

Cleveland is low income, VERY low.

This a great option for high income earners who simply do not have the time for real estate.

For those of you that have good w2 income and want to take advantage of employer matching (100% return!)

They found that targeting traveling nurses and medical residents provided reliable income, especially with amenities like a washer/dryer and blackout curtains.. details that are often overlooked but highly valued.For STR potential, I’d suggest researching local tourism data.

Seeing the gradual dip in median sales prices and the uptick in days on market, it’s fascinating to think about how buyers are leveraging longer DOM properties to find deals.

One of the biggest challenges of investing in Rustbelt cities is knowing where to invest and properly understanding the cooresponding pros & cons.Here's copy & paste advice we share to help to address this challenge:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

I now have great passive income.

If you're seeking a reliable income stream, you should definitely consider Cleveland.
