I am curious if anyone has had success in other areas let me know.We are thinking of relocating as it looks like there is no end in sight for this.If you had 250k to spare or sitting in a non interest bearing account, you could look into the hard rock hotel condos.

As @Patrick Drury mentioned- the West Side does not have any POS areas (besides Lakewood, but it's only needed for previously non-owner occupied/rental properties) Something else to consider in Cleveland proper is Lead Safe Testing ..

The numbers could make sense if you do STR, but it's still tough because the pricing for multis is high and the long-term rental return isn't that great.

However, you'll minimal capex/maintenance/vacancy and the overall return after 5 years could be very strong. 

Do they return your calls?

Midterm rentals often offer higher returns than long-term rentals, but you'll also have to manage more frequent turnovers and potential vacancies.

It often takes living and breathing the industry around the clock for a few years before you start seeing consistent returns.

The real estate prices are relatively low, compared to the cities & more touristy areas, but the rental returns are good, with a low vacancy rate.

Seeing 9-10% return On Paper, I couldn’t help but connect to the long term RoI of stocks.

Over the past 6 months, I've seen a "SIGNIFICANT" increase in ROI and REALLY BIG equity gains in the areas I serve and buy, due to the epic buyer's market we are in. I'd like to know where the other really big markets...
