Quote from @Michael Potorti: What are some strong areas to purchase property in Cleveland area?

I (Dillon Duffy) have been working on a building for a few weeks now and listening to Bigger Pockets podcast and videos on YouTube and trying to self learn how to navigate through this exciting but stressful project.I purchased my current home in May 2021 for 156k.

There are so many "best str market" lists online and they always seem to include cities that do not allow STRs i.e Malibu, Manhattan etc...

But even if the numbers looked good going in and a black swan event happened, it would take a lot to lower the value of the house below your purchase price if you are doing value-add renovations.

Stop looking at purchase numbers.
