@Jay Hinrichs I remember over 20 years ago when the developed the McCarthy Ranch area and they built tech buildings on top of old slaughter house sites... 

We will most likely rent an apt for the first year but we want a head start on where to look for lowest tax areas and possibly new developments that are happening.

I'm currently trying to sell it, and some strange issues have come up.The house is a single-family according to the County, but shares a driveway with two townhouses, and the developer set it up as a condominium complex in the legal description. 

We are coming down next week to look at some projects in Philadelphia from Monday to Wednesday but we will be driving by Cleveland after that.Or you yourself or do you know of any entrepreneurs, active developers, or people who do have extensive knowledge of the Cleveland real estate market for investing? 

Even if the city population grew by leaps and bounds (which is unlikely), it will take a good amount of time for new tenants to absorb those available SFH and MF units before major new development can occur that is financially feasible. 

County tax values are not relevant really a good indicator of market value.Though you do need to look into the current inventory, what development is happening in a neighborhood, and how many sales occur in that price range compared to # of houses in inventory to get an idea of where you can land compared to the comps. 

Hello Everyone,I'm a General Contractor who has developed a great reputation in my area for 11 years now and I started flipping homes about 2 years ago. 

Any interested developers?

I'm debating on whether to do one of the following options, 1) House hack: Potentially buy a 2-4 unit so I can live in one and rent out the other ones.2) House Flip: Find a fixer upper so I can restore and sell.3) Buy an invesment property out of stateMy short/long term goal is to be a real state investor/developer with various rental properties (Mainly for housing), therefore, I'm aware that the first deal must be chosen carefully.What does the BP community recommend? 

I am looking to make a career out of real estate as soon as possible as I have developed a passion for it now that I know the results it could help bring me and my family.
