Currently, I'm trying to have patience and resist the urge to immediately take action because sometimes you have to wait (vacancy).There are a few things I would like to clear up.

One of the tenants has a misdemeanor (Resisting Officer Without Violence (Resisting Arrest)), found guilty.We've rejected the offer because we were pretty sure this is not our cup of tea, but they came back asking if we would consider if they would pay 6 or 12 months up front.

Very water resistant.

You may have to stab at 5-6 different spots within the same 3 sq. ft. area before you find little resistance with your stakes.I suggest using a mix of telephone pole signs and in-ground, as each has their strengths and weakness.In-ground signs:They are not going to last very long, usually a week or less, just like everyone else commented above.

I haven't yet received any resistance and one tenant even acknowledged her low rent when I met her on day one of taking the property over and she offered to write me a check for a higher amount.

The reason I feel that Cleveland is not a good market is that the population has been declining for quite some time, there are a disproportionate amount of houses compared to the population, no large industry, weather that may cause maintenance issues down the line, and then there's the Cleveland Browns (sorry, could resist a loving jab at our sports team).The positives, while I view them as not enough to outweigh the negatives, are homes are cheap (but so is rent), at least it's not Detroit, and the homes are readily available for purchase and rehabbing.

If you get the least bit of resistance, get rid of them.

I resisted the urge of asking,..

She knows this town very well, but I'm looking to expand to a nearby town and have had some resistance from another realtor wanting to work with me since my realtor is very well known.

It’s super tough and resists spills of drinks and other liquid that commonly spills.
