Which is true - but the refi is going to cost you $3,000-$5,000 in closing costs again - which actually moves you backwards by a couple of years to recoup those costs at the $200 more per month you will make once rates get back down to 5.x%.My bet is that unless you can find some seriously undervalued real estate that your numbers won't look pretty at 8% interest (all in).  

Any opinions expressed are only that and at best are based on the limited facts given.Experience is built on good and bad decisions. 

You can probably do it in areas without zoning or farmland, but it is very difficult in a traditional residential zone.Your best bet is to look for areas along busier roads that are currently residential and turning commercial or already turned commercial with lingering residential.

If you're using all cash then obviously that's not an issue.Another thing to consider is if the land has deed restrictions, checking on the city website or MLS would be your best bet there.I'd love to learn more about what you're trying to do and maybe be able to help answer any questions you might have!

I do showings by appointment only so that I can limit the occupancy in the property.

I bet you do a great job rehabbing!

@Mike Musarra  If you plan on doing a BRRRRR your best bet will be refinancing into a DSCR loan.

It is my understanding that the STR rules in Cleveland are as follows: - Density limits: In residential districts, STRs can't make up more than 15% of the total homes on a block or units in a multi-unit building. 

For business owners, having a separate legal entity, such as a corporation or limited liability company, provides the unique ability to create a credit identity with business credit reporting agencies, also known as a business credit profile.Reality check:  > Funding your business with your home equity or personal savings/guarantee is a HUGE risk  > ~45% of Small Businesses applied for a Business Loan in 2023  > Less than 2% of SBA Loans are actually funded/approved  > 29% of Small Businesses FAIL because thee run out of Capital  > Your company’s name on a credit card is NOT corporate credit (if you used your FICO score to get it)  > Business (EIN) credit will open new ways to finance your growthIf you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you always got!
