Quote from @Alecia Loveless: @Jonathan Bombaci I think a good lawyer that has passed the bar to practice in two states is going to be more expensive than $200,000.

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that. 

If you are priced well and the condition is great barring there is not a ton of supply, then you will sell quickly!  

My goal is to shift from buying to paying off my properties as soon as the paid off property bar hits $11k per month. 

Strong rental demand: With major employers like the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, along with a growing arts and culture scene, Cleveland attracts a steady stream of renters.Revitalization efforts: Many areas of Cleveland are experiencing significant revitalization, which can lead to increased property values and appreciation potential.I can't comment on the Detroit market specifically, I have never been and have never done any research on it!

If its general information, Bigger Pockets has a ton of info that you can learn at your own speed, just type "STR" or "Short Term Rental" in the search bar and a bunch of info will show up.
