I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).  

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

@Isaac TerryIn terms of it being worthwhile, just like most other markets out of state if the barrier or entry is too high where you live, the landlord laws are not favorable where you live, and you are looking for positive cashflow then Cleveland can be a good option.

I know in Philadelphia if I had a 2 BR house it would be viewed favorably by tenants who are seeking 2 BR living situations because most inventory will be apartment style living and for this reason would achieve a rent premium.

Right now I'm living in Baltimore, still working 9-5 W-2.

A 1/1 with a 4/2 on top is perfect for the hacker to live in the 1/1 and cash flow on the higher rents.2.

I buy and hold and do short term rentals and mid term rentals.Located in Racine Wisconsin  Hello Gabriel: I also live in Racine County there are some great deals our way and including southern milwaukee county too!   

Live in one side and renovate that side, then after the lease for the other unit is up move into that one and renovate it.

I haven't lived in it long enough to be exempt from capital gains, good point on that.

I used to live in Louisville KY and now I am in Tampa Florida.
