Flat spots yes, slow rent growth yes, but negative rents not in anyones known forecast longterm.

I am very used to driving around town to spot those distressed properties.

Tenant has no rights in or to any particular parking spot, and Landlord does not guarantee Tenant a parking spot on the Premises or any property surrounding the Premises.

The new short wall in the guest bath (the one that's at a right angle to the back wall) would be a great place for a towel bar, or a couple of small shelves with towels on them, or maybe a little cabinet for the towels.The disadvantage is that if you don't move the main stack, I'm not sure if moving the guest toilet to the outside wall will work - since the stack is in the same spot, you have to make sure you'll still have enough slope on the pipe to the toilet, even with the toilet being further away from the main stack.  

Then take care of the good ones, on the spot with repairs, good communication etc, relationships are more important than $. 

@Michael EalyYou bought that in 2011.I know I could post multiple similar wins for you that I had in Florida in 2011.But I won’t bore you.You live in Cincinnati.I live in Jacksonville and bought my Cleveland buildings in the past 18 months.Read my blog again and then read @Jay Hinrichs comments above.We are trying to inform newbies and out of state investors, not savvy locals like you.The post is not to say it’s absolutely impossible to make money in Cleveland.It just points out blind spots that’s often papered over by local stakeholders who sell Cleveland and cheap Midwest homes to uncanny out of town investors.Information doesn’t hurt.Especially if it’s open and balanced like in this forum where it’s free to hear both sides of the story.I hope you get the difference.

You can put them across the window in two spots, so if the cat does push on the screen, it won't pop in.

Jeff is spot on.

Zillow finds out tomorrow.If I can get a client in right away - and BEFORE the open house - we can submit an offer on the spot with a 6 hour expiration. 

C" Neighborhoods are the sweet spot.
