If you get into Cleveland, I would just recommend looking into the A-B range neighborhoods if Short term rentals are in your plan.

So, if the range of rents they see for comps are $1100-1450 they think $1400-1450 is "market rent".

Since I live in Florida, where many properties are currently out of my price range, I’ll be investing out of state.I have a few questions and would appreciate some guidance:1.

Louis, Cleveland) where I could probably take something down in the 125-150k range by myself (assuming 20-25% down), but I always circle back to trying to start locally. 

At one point I realized we were paying this guy $4200/mo for a property that I could see on the MLS he bought for something like $180k.I tried to get him to sell (using alumni as our backing investors) but he came back with a price in the $400 range and said he had no real need to sell.

The numbers say my ultimate goal is to get about 11 duplexes in the 100-120k per door range in the next few years and then snowball the debt pay down.

And the buyer agent has plenty of transactions in this price range. 

We are looking to purchase a duplex in the 100-200k range and want a CoC return of around 8-12%.

I am trying to get a neutral scheme that will appeal to a range of tenants, and by doing so leaning towards a more natural or darker wood look instead of a grey for the floors but there are a bunch of color options.Any opinions or tips in the matter are much appreciate, and if anyone has used this color scheme with Lifeproof flooring before that would be great!

You can buy duplexes from $100-$200k range with COC ranging from 10-18%.
