Cleveland can dip that low, but be prepared to do some renovations!

You will just quit your W2 job and become a self employed property manager.So if you are looking for retirement income you should factor in the cost of a property manager, as well as turns, vacancy, repairs, and Cap Ex, which will probably alter the numbers you are expecting.Also add into this, personal asset protection set up and ongoing costs, as well as accounting advice, bookeeping costs, and tax preparation costs if you intend to go in that direction, and not do it yourself (which if you DIY will make you a part time tax repairer and also not retired).Many people get into this because they want to retire, but in reality it seems they are just quiting their job to become self employed.

Prepare that way, know your trade and not a script.

In fact, many were RUINED financially and for things beyond their own control.If you finance the home as a principal residence, you have to be prepared to commit fraud, as your lender is likely going to require a notarized and/or sworn statement that this is your principal residence.Good luck to you and stay safe.

Just be prepared to work your butt off. 

Even then, several businesses will be seeing over seas demand dry up.The only things we know for sure right now are that nothing like this has never happened before, our institutions (financial, business, political) were not prepared for anything on this scale, a lot of investors and consumers are carrying high levels of debt, and the short and long term implications of our crisis management efforts on the economy are not understood yet.Hopefully it works out and everything goes totally back to normal in a month as if nothing ever happened.

In regards to areas, I've prepared a list below based on my experience as a property manager in Hartford County and Springfield MA. 

Prepare now....
