If that's the case, then you're right, that entire area could make a pleasant transformation.

Properties are getting transformed hugely the last year.

I've seen some properties that can be transformed into great deals with questionable cap rates.

Indy has transformed from a Rust Belt city to a thriving, modern metropolis. 

In exactly 30 days, the property was completely transformed, and based on our experience I will certainly be working with Mark on future projects.

Hey Brian,I grew up in Salem and have seen the city transform from a moderately boring, sleepy capital city into a bustling cultural center over the last few years.

Hi @Ashley Ramirez,I would suggest you getting the Profit First - Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine. 

I thought if I somehow magically transformed myself into a type-A personality, I'd achieve all the goals I had for myself.

I have an 18-unit in Cleveland.Pretty much stabilizing for this first year, getting rid of inherited deadbeat tenants etcI have gone to Cleveland twice since acquiring the asset in September 2017:once during initial due diligence and I just came back from walking all units again with my PM last week.Wouldn't have it another way.Much less involved in it compared to my local Jacksonville buildings as my PM as been awesome in communicating.Oh by the way,I read this recent article on BP condemning Cleveland and Memphis to the bottom of some list of "6 cities"...I have no idea why people make these sweeping generalizations based on some graphic or data.It's like a girl saying to herself:"most men cheats I'll never fall in love".It's easy to write an article or create a spreadsheet while drinking beer in your man cave.I just returned from a week of walking the streets of Cleveland taking in the billions of $ in new investment in the downtown area and east of the Flats where an unbelievable transformation has happened since I last lived there in 2011.Vacancies are down, rents are rising.Yet some guy who's never actually been to Cleveland sits somewhere in LA and writes articles about how net immigration in Cleveland is negative etc.Hilarious.

My full-time job for this week is to re-wire my brain and figure out what I want to do when I grow up. . . .I went through that transformation back in the day.
