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

Cleveland is low income, VERY low.

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

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.

I believe Wichita will grow in coming years. 

One, which is often for the more aggressive in cash-flow, presses sub $200k and $2k+ rents. best deal-done in this regard of recent was right at the $200k mark and $3,250 gross mnthly rents. 

That property is now a reliable source of rental income and a constant reminder that success starts with taking action, learning on the fly, and embracing challenges head-on.

I tend to agree that selling seems like a good option, especially since your rental income will not give you a good yield on current property valuation.Did you live in the rental as primary before?

I was lucky enough to find a property just a few blocks from my TK purchase that was in excellent condition, fully tenanted with two units, passed the inspection with flying colors and is grossing close to the 2% rule.
