Quality and risk in Cleveland and Akron neighborhoods will vary widely.

@Nick HulmeMaking improvements to your primary to make it high quality enough to rent above market rents, rent it.

Right now, I concern myself with the quality asset.

My firend once had a client who did a high end remodel in a somewhat modest neighborhood.

Real estate is one of the best mind-sharpening exercises in the investment world simply because getting it wrong there is no stock liquidation or quick way out.

On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

They must provide quality service, or their clients won't want to pay the price.

So there it is, no exercising eminent domain for a quarter trillion dollars.

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

(Assuming quality of service doesn’t decrease.)No matter how you look at it, that is a ton of money.
