@Tim Richardson if you are just starting out, one of the most important tools in your bag should be a strong W2. 

I'll bribe her with a Chanel bag.

Only thing missing in the photo are drugs....but maybe they are inside the yellow bag in the background. 

When returns on other forms of investments go up with interest rates you will see the bubble begin to burst it's a cycle and I wouldnt want to be caught holding a bag. just my 2 c.

Fairfield is kind of a mixed bag.

@Beary Bowles I find a closet if possible and install a mail slot with a $12 mail catching bag on the other side.

This doesn't mean there is no crime, but the most serious my tenants have had is a trash bag full of aluminum cans stolen from their back yard, one break in to a vacant unit (nothing stolen), and neighborhood graffiti (one of my cities is pretty good at cleaning this up within 48 hours). - My tenants are (usually) not rich highly compensated individuals, as my properties are on the more affordable side. 

-Cons Cleveland itself has mandatory lead testing ( mixed bag there) But that's only Cleveland properAging Housing stock, so more maintenanceCleveland proper is tough for evictionsThere's a lot of opportunity in our inner ring suburbs and Cleveland itself.You forgot to mention that Cleveland holds a Dopeness level of level 10. 

Smaller market but if cash flow is your bag, I'd look at Lawton, OK.

But hard not to see mass layoffs in the next 6 months causing a recession.Obviously, doesn't mean that'll affect RE prices unless many tenants default and over-leveraged landlords (again) are left holding the bag.
