If the city ever wants to add sidewalks or run utilities underground, those homeowners will be out of luck.PS: I have never seen a juridisction pay to remove items in an easement or compensated owners for performing work in an easement.

As the legally required small print in the offering of financial products reads: "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance".

And any time a journalist or anyone else claims to know, the first question I have for them is: "If you say that you have access to this accurate crystal ball, then why aren't YOU a billionaire?!"

I can probably point to a 2-4 unit that performed better than a single family, and I can point to a my own single families that performed better than my duplex.  

We will continue to observe the performance of this property and eventually will build a second house next to it.

I'm curious if this discrepancy is typical of other regions as well.How accurate is the data on this site?

My questions in my post are solid, my info about Cleveland is accurate based on Cleveland neighborhood grades and Cleveland health systems, and my property values are fact. 

Number makes sense on paper but let's see how we perform at the beginning of next year. 

Most lenders that I work with cap the LTV % on cash outs at 70%, so assuming $165k is accurate, the max loan I would see on this would be around $115k, which doesn't give you any cash. 

We've got a few homes near campus we use as student rentals and they certainly perform well.
