Do you want to travel 2 days to the east coast, FL or something only a day away you can get to quickly like AZ or NV?

I am curious why you chose to invest in East Cleveland?

Suburbs to the east, like Ooltewah and Collegedale, are more affordable—if you’re lucky, you can find homes that are right around your budget.Deals that meet the 1% rule are likewise present in the market, but again, you’ll probably have to do some digging.

I live on the east coast.

If they seem agreeable, then you can ask if they would prefer to cut the cost down the middle or would they prefer to purchase the supplies and you will assume the cost of labor to install it. 

Some free happy hours, but the regular meetings are about $20.Saturday morning in East Ft.

Here are pockets I focus on for cash flow:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), BedfordHere are the areas that I focus on for appreciation:West side - Lakewood, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, Ohio City, Tremont (above 490)East side - Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Fairfax*I have a graded neighborhood map of these areas as well if you would like to check it out.

Phoenix metro is essentially East Valley good, West Valley not as good. 

You’re spot-on about the "missing middle."

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR
