Thank you Jaron..really do appreciate the guidance and candor…I am probably not articulating the finer points well…my daughters are actually only the tennets…they are not involved in any of the potential decisions I am considering.  

Definitely a good overall real estate market with solid upside potential. 

The market could shift in your favor, potentially turning into a seller’s market.

Cities like Cleveland offer affordable properties, strong rental demand, and solid cash flow potential.

What methods would you suggest to screen potential tenants? 

We fully renovated both units, improving the property’s value and rental potential.

The tax lien is $37k, I figured the terms we very generous but with it being my first deal, I wanted to make sure it was a worthwhile endeavor for a potential partner investor. 

Rather than renovating the single-family home, we decided to pursue new construction to unlock the property's full value potential.

The remaining potential issue is their rental properties.

Out-of-state investors love it out here because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand (your house is not going to sit vacant), and lots of growth potential in areas that are going through revitalization, among other things.
