Part of that is due to the very slow recovery of the nation’s homebuilders, who began rebuilding their businesses after the historic housing crash mostly in the move-up and luxury markets.On the bright side, builders are well-positioned to increase profits thanks to the shortage of existing homes for sale.

Though there aren't as many great deals now as there were a few years back, I challenge anyone to find another major city, with a robust and diverse economy, that can provide such a solid price to rent ratio as Cleveland and still offer some upside potential for price/value recovery/increases!

Rent Recovery Solutions, is great as well.  

I could remember reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad” in the first offseason after my rookie year (after blowing over $20,000 in expenses in my first month off after our season was over which to this date I have no idea what I spent it on) and said to myself “If I keep going at this rate I am going to become another 73% statistic of athletes going broke after the NFL.”

Lenders - I almost want you to think of lenders like athletes.  

Most lenders are not that horribly stupid – the lenders want to get as much recovery on their defaulted/under-performing loan as they can. 

I also played professional hockey so I have a connection with professional athletes for a talking point.  

It would be equally favorable to buy in CA during the downturn as it would in AZ as you’ll likely have quicker recovery in CA, thus improving NPV of your investment.

Many professional athletes make Poway their home. 

The good news is that you can include your legal costs in the recovery.
