@Karen Margrave I think we are saying basically the same thing, but I still contend that the theory holds true unless acted upon by outside influences ie. regulations. 

Ok, so we can make some pretty safe assumptions of interdicting actions upcoming in housing "world", and it's safe to say it will be to influence at least a perception of "affordability" which naturally INCREASES volume movement right.     

Zoning changes are about power and influence. 

Keyword "influence".

Don’t be influenced by fear propaganda, you’re only making their efforts validated.

Put it out to your network and you might get something good back.Also, since your cash-on-cash return is greatly influenced by having a tenant that pays on time and doesn't move out and doesn't need an eviction (tenant turnover equals no income 1 or 2 months, high pm fees, and repair/turn costs), your PM is the MOST IMPORTANT factor in cash-on-cash return - since they place the tenants and work to collect rent if tenant falls behind.

I think I tapered off of the path, I think the summary  / take home message here is that Cleveland is an amazing melting pot of cultural influence/impact, we have individuals spanning the entire globe, only beautifying our city more and more. 

Those who think government should get out of housing matters don't really understand the bigger picture (I'm hearing political overtones too, LOL) it takes government to stimulate the industry and it's not just RE, influence run through durable goods, labor, raw materials, shipping and the financial industry, you pull the pug and the whole economy is at risk of going down the drain.

Take advantage of the market while you can, I've seen this before and what may likely happen is that the brokers will have a light go off realizing they are dropping the ball with owners and missing out on higher commissions and they will begin to influence the market, to higher prices. :)  

That might also have influenced the price, also remember listings aren't leased they are listed at that price, so if the above are just listings see how long they stay listed for that price.
