If I pursue this, I need to know the Pro's and Con's of the decision prior to addressing this to our landlord.  

This is exactly what I needed - steps to make a more informed decision. 

This is more of a curiosity question rather than a question of your decision. 

People who make bad decisions attract similar kind and are  usually in specific situations that do not match where they should be at their age.

Let them make an informed decision if they want to work with you; don't hide what you're actually going to do. 

I currently rent and have no problem staying here but want to make the best decision.

Just wondering if you had a personal connection or were basing the decision on numbers alone...I visit Cleveland fairly often...it's a great city overall...we tend to gravitate to Ohio City...very walkable and lots of transition...great to see some redevelopment in the area.Best of luck going forward.

Bad savings decisions aside, lots of people are being shut out of home buying for strictly financial reasons, and it's a travesty. :( I worry about what kind of life my grandkids will have.

Passive investing in real estate syndications is much less hands-on than your typical residential real estate rental property, in fact, you’ll probably never see the property in person and won’t be involved in any day-to-day decisions.

It was a majority decision, not unanimous though, and 4 judges dissented.
