Real estate investing is a team sport. 

But it’s simply not about money, it’s about life.A good friend of mine, who was born and lived here all of her life until a few months ago, who is a very successful lawyer, is into outdoor sports on one hand, but is also a club-going urban dweller on the other, and who recently moved to Seattle, summarized the Bay Area the best, in my opinion: there’s a lot of everything here, but everything is either shallow, mediocre, or so overcrowded that it’s no longer accessible or enjoyable (e.g.: Yosemite).Seattle is not that much cheaper than Penninsula.. 

I work 50-60 hours a week at my w-2 and have 4 kids (all in sports).

-Cons Cleveland itself has mandatory lead testing ( mixed bag there) But that's only Cleveland properAging Housing stock, so more maintenanceCleveland proper is tough for evictionsThere's a lot of opportunity in our inner ring suburbs and Cleveland itself.You forgot to mention that Cleveland holds a Dopeness level of level 10. 

Smaller market but if cash flow is your bag, I'd look at Lawton, OK.

But hard not to see mass layoffs in the next 6 months causing a recession.Obviously, doesn't mean that'll affect RE prices unless many tenants default and over-leveraged landlords (again) are left holding the bag.

I just talked recently to my sister-in-law with a similar issue you can't just add on anything about the trampoline to the least you can't do that legally she's a real estate attorney you can't legally add it on and technically a trampoline is not a toy it is a workout type of machinery it's almost like having a set of Weights outside or a punching bag if it's not specified already in the lease before you gave it to him legally there's nothing you can do and it would be extremely illegal to just add it in after they were already there and sign the lease you can't add into the next lease it's not how it works now if you had a apartment complex that would be different but if you're renting a home would they put in their backyard is none of your business they're renting your the home from you you can't control somebody's yard you can say yes you need to keep it clean but you can't tell them they can't have a trampoline or a swing set or any of the above in their backyard if they're running a home from you by law.
