Even facebook might have some good local groups for you.

Thats what essentially happened even with mechanization, computerization and so on.

I heard some believe no local agent that knows what they are doing would  sign this and on the other hand some are very skeptical the city would even  enforce this given the domino effect it may create. since I am considering buying a new investment property in Cleveland I  would like  to know: are there any solution if the city decide to enforce this?

I stayed confident even when times were hard and I knew we could do it.

If you want 10% returns you might have to look in another market, but if you want to park some money in a solid property, as long as it generates enough to break even after all expenses, taxes, etc. to allow you to hold on to it for 5-10 years I'd bet it will do better in the long run than a 10% cash flow property in a lower end market. 

If possible, I'd have the current Owner ask the tenant to lock in their rent by signing a year or 6 month lease and see what happens even though that would lock me into below market rent a while longer. 

Leads to crazy results not even useful for a ballpark.  

Texas DOJ is actively investing this...so maybe your one loan may never even get picked up by them - by why risk it?

Also, the inspectors are TERRIBLE, Sorry but your purchase of all in 350k was a very bad investment, not trying to knock you even further down.

I doubt they've even thought about the points that you've brought up.
