Investors are particularly interested in properties near major universities, as they offer stable and growing returns.

It’s getting close to other major metros in the rest of the world where it’s getting difficult for the locals to buy a home.

My first major investment was a house hack BRRRR.

We decided to outsource major tasks such as septic installation, plumbing, heating, and carpentry, while handling smaller projects ourselves—a decision that proved beneficial.

It's tough to give a definitive answer without knowing your specific investment goals (cash flow, appreciation, etc.) and preferred strategies (BRRRR, wholesaling, etc.).However, since I'm a Cleveland native and active in the real estate market here, I can offer some insights on why Cleveland could be a good fit:Affordability: Compared to many other major metros, Cleveland offers a relatively low barrier to entry.

Now we're seeing major disasters in densely populated areas and insurance companies can't maintain their profit margins.

Majority of banks, credit unions, and hard money lenders are cutting back.

However if you have enough reserves, 6mo or greater then I'd say chance it but a couple of missed payments from the tenants and you have to foot the payments out of your own pocket.I'm all for taking risks but I think you really need to evaluate the age of the major systems so you don't get hit with a bunch of cap ex all at once as well as your reserves. 

But if you get a major expense you could then potentially have a decent amount of debt.

To me that is requires major compliments, and the review I posted is not appropriate.They really are going above and beyond in this circumstance and its not fair to them to keep this post online just because I wasn't able to reach them and discuss this over the weekend right after new years.PLEASE reconsider taking the post down.
