You hear economic drivers like new sports complex in Rantoul, casino coming to Danville, etc.

What am I saying, OF COURSE you DON'T know, sport's fan's across BP busted out in laughter when you wrote that, and here now, they know EXACTLY what I am about to point out. 

I am really into sports, mostly soccer but I like the NBA to. 

This is a team sport and there is a reason good Realtors and good Lenders.

All I knew of Cleveland were the sports teams (let's be honest, mainly just the Cavs and Indians, lol), Bone Thugs N Harmony rap group, and I'd heard of Cleveland Clinic.

Hey @Justyn Hope, properties in the $50,000 to $65,000 range definitely are possible to come by in Birmingham.A handful of B/B+ neighborhoods in the west side of town—especially places like Fairfield, Midland, Madison, Brighton, Pleasant Grove, Hueytown, Bessemer, and McCalla—sport homes that retail for this range.

Beaches and mountains, as stated in replies above, are always good as are anywhere close to major hospitals or universities, large sporting attractions or other attractions (theme parks, hiking, etc.). 

Slightly biased, but Cleveland does offer a lot with three professional sports teams, the second largest theater district (second to Broadway), and a ton of other local attractions and great healthcare systems that draw people to the city.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
