@Simon PoweMultifamily will generally have higher turnover than single family and it can also be a bit higher maintenance since the tenants seem to take less care of the units.

Is it smart to just sell, pull equity to put towards the new house or use the potential rent to put towards the new home payments once the rental overhead is taken care of?

Start small with duplexes or triplexes, analyze deals carefully, and build a team of local experts.

The other challenge is selling it, there is a smaller buyer pool for hospitality in a small market but that was known going in Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Readers should seek professional advice.

I am skeptical about gurus, because real estate professionals who are truly successful are busy working their own deals. 

Class A apartments have numerous amenities, professional management, and sit in desirable neighborhoods.

If the tenants don't care for the pool properly, it could cost you thousands to fix.

If you care just about positive cash flow (and you don't care about population growth, macroeconomics, or appreciation), definitely go with Cleveland.
