Most of that credit goes to the staff but thank you.

Vetting tenants is essentially the same as regular tenants, but expect lower credit scrores, bankruptcies, etc.  

From online research, I was able to find out that other cities in Ohio tax all your income (w2 & rental income) if you own a property there & some give you a small credit for taxes paid to other cities.My question is, if I buy a property in Cleveland (or a CLE suburb), would my w2 income be taxable in Cleveland (or a CLE suburb)?

They are subject to a credit, criminal, and eviction check just like other perspective tenant candidates.One thing I would suggest is asking them how much their subsidy is for.  

SFR - Low cap rate (3% or so) Multi-Units - 10% Cap Rate, but poor condition*Multi-Units - Low CAP rate, tenant occupied*I understand my options for fixing things up at a property, but here are the issues I am running into.. 

You are either paying with a higher rate to receive a lender credit, or paying the costs at closing. 

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

The price of the option, paid for by the potential purchaser of the property, is agreed upon and set and is non-refundable.Some sellers MIGHT credit the cost of the option back to the buyer of the property upon closing, but any details of the option may NOT refer to any lease.Why? 

I have been working with a credit union to get a HELOC to allow me to tap my equity to buy additional real estate.

Many in the building industry had hoped the next generation of flippers would embrace building performance & remediate the ever aging poorly performing housing stock.
