I would only add that I like to see the T-24 as opposed to T-12 because some owners like to fill the units with any warm body leading up to a sale in order to make the property more attractive...

I am zeroing in on the Cleveland metro area because from what I can tell, there is great potential in seemingly reasonable property prices as well as attractive rents. 

We have a 2/2 condo in an attractive area in inland South OC (w-golfing, lake, community pool) we bought 4 years ago for $339k, and it's worth approx. $450k.  

We have the added benefit of being just a couple of hours from Moab which is maybe less attractive in the middle of summer, but an exceptional place for spring or fall adventures. 

Seeing that you have a pretty decent spread between remaining principal and potential value (don't trust the Zestimate) it seems that reinvesting the money into other properties is pretty attractive.

Seeking out an attractive investment opportunity in NYC is extremely hard and huge entrance barrier for someone who doesn't have too much money.

As prices go up, more people are attracted to real estate, making it a worse investment.

The more you talk about what you're doing, if done confidentiality and properly, you will begin attracting money/partners. 

Green space and parks add value to communities and could increase the likelihood that development would be attracted to that area.

I have an applicant for my one-bedroom shared condo who lists his job as a property manager for a company that he owns.This property generally attracts college students and millennials just starting out.Why would a 50+ real estate professional want to rent from me?
