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

Just posting this in case my beginner’s case study might help others and also to get any feedback.  

I did not see any cracks in the slab from the point loads, but I also did not study this.  

I am assuming you have very high credit limits on your cards.

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. 

Study the market.

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!

The options become more limited. 

There are a few out there that will do first time investors but being your first, you will be limited.4) What are your actual margins. 

I would say the posts concerning the 1600 block of N 27th Street is a good case study of where NOT to buy if that's your objective.
