I'm in the Space Coast and we are seeing folks from your part of the State coming up to our part of the State.

Quote from @Felicia West: I am thinking more rentals.  

It's really the Wild West. 

@Sandra FeurtadoI would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre.

Most of my clientele are based in the west coast in California and Seattle.

Other than that, it's a very landlord friendly state, rents are on the low side but price points are perfect for a new investor to get into versus say the west coast or sun belt.

@SJ Farrugia  In the FAQ disclaimer on criminal records smartmove will return criminal records in the following states Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.Now if you are located in those states you may be fine.

Other states I would consider: Nevada, Texas (high property taxes but my friends make the numbers work), Tennessee (Nashville area), North Carolina, possibly Arizona, possibly Florida (I had considered the Panhandle area Fort Walton Beach, West Panama City) but their insurance costs are high with hurricanes.

We are seeing these developed rapidly around here - West Hartford, Simsbury, Avon, Farmington the list goes on. 

I went the other way I was selling very tough to sell Land in Northern Ca. national forest areas (Mendocino) my fee was 10 to 20% and sometimes higher.. these properties are common in the West.. where you have private ownership surrounded by National Forest lands..
