I think it'll depend on how the economy and rates are.

I do need a property that is not very expensive, which is why I have been looking into Clevland due to their low selling prices and high appreciation rates.  

They have had 100% occupancy at market rates and currently bring in around $2,000 per month in cash flow.

Our actual carriers used to be Secura, but they seem to be getting out of a lot of insurance lines or pricing so high as to have customers drop off, and we just moved policies in Nov. to Hanover Insurance. 

Forth, what is your interest rate?

Also, you could consider buying something with "hard money"; this comes at a higher interest rate, but you might be able to get into a property and either flip it or refinance it.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

Eva, trying to answer your questions here that you dropped in the thread.1.)  

Should I price the land 2 times above market value and offer a low interest rateORPrice the land at current market and use a very high rate?

Instead of evicting them, i was thinking is there some way that I could rent it back to him for very cheap (mainly to cover just the taxes/ insurance) ie 2k a year rather than the going rate of 2k a month for similar properties.
