We realize that house hacking is a good way to get started, but have struggled with leaving downtown as we like it so much.Due to a series of related events, we decided to that we should at least look at areas we like to frequent (Ohio City, Tremont and Detroit Shoreway)(these are neighborhoods the border downtown Cleveland for those not familiar. 

I think each unit has some unique characteristics which make them desirable.I've seen 2BR units listed in the 19th close to mine that I wouldn't pay $700 for, so the 19th isn't necessarily an automatic ticket to higher rents.

The 4 digit house number is visible in the photo you posted.And I know the city well enough to be able to guess (based on the characteristics of the house) what area it was in.  

The first step I would do is thinking about my criteria, like the area and the characteristics of the properties and type of tenants you are looking for.We started with flip and now our main focus is buy and hold, when we started we found other experienced folks and now we keep sharing and mentoring investors. 

I tend to be in both cities fairly frequently. 

I frequently see BP posters asking if their rate is high or what they should be paying for this type of property.

We don't prioritize these faux deals over real deals, of course, so it takes two weeks from when my little "I need this and that paperwork" list is fully 100% complete without any omissions.They can still house hunt using standard contingencies during that period, naturally.I generally don't bring it up unless it's requested (typically by the realtor) because people get pissed about the additional paperwork I ask for that includes why this or that credit inquiry 4 months ago happened, etc.A concern, and something I've noticed come up more and more frequently lately, is lenders pretending it only takes 3 days to get through that 123 Main St underwrite and letting folks go in with no loan contingency because they THINK that they are credit/income/asset approved and have been lied to.

I frequent the one in white oak.  

HUD chose not to decide how frequently an individual may provide financing before reaching the requisite degree of habitualness.

Be sure to pay it frequently (suggested bi-weekly).
