I just moved to Cleveland from California and take my perspective as fresh eyes on West-East Cleveland situation.  

I've already written a lot of this in my profile but I'd be glad to cover it here.I am pretty new to Real Estate, I've done some research before and had a false start, but I am excited to start fresh, learn something new and get involved.I am currently self-employed as a freelance Paralegal, although I work mostly at a small law firm which always has work for me, I also do Taxes and I'm a full time student.

If you're smart about it and wait around for a "great deal" and not just a "good deal" than you minimize your downside because the area there is mostly renters whether that's university or otherwise...and as long as there isn't false appreciation baked into the purchase price you ended up with limited downside and significant upside.

Thanks in advance for any fresh ideas out there

You are likely facing a situation where you need to start fresh with a new group of tenants that you train to respect the lease.Best to you (be nice but don't be a chump)!
