25735 Lorain RdUnit 306North Olmsted, OH 44070I bought a condo for $14000 and it rents for $640 a month which comes out to 4.57%...Keep in mind this is one of my best performing property and I basically was in the right place at the right time, but sometimes all it takes is luck.116 Water StElyria, OHI bought for $24000 and I get a combined $1100 a month which comes out to 4.58%...
