The payments and interest are high.

This does not align with buying most buildings in cash.Once you progress in your investing efforts you may come across more UHNW individuals, family offices and institutions who would take the lower return for limiting risk (all cash deal).

If your goal is to have a cash flowing portfolio of rentals. 

The high tax eats away a lot at the cash flow.

The cash investor who "saw the property on zillow" but doesn't really understand what REO means or how the banks operate. 

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

Find a down payment assistance program and see what that looks like. 

I am glad you highlighted the management piece as this is a crucial part of buying in another market.Excited that you are stabilized and are generating cash flow on that deal. 

I'm more interested in an ABB type deal but will work with what cash flows.

Honestly is better spent as a down payment on a second building.
