Hey all,I’ve been diving into options for software to help streamline real estate rehab and construction project management.

If you care just about positive cash flow (and you don't care about population growth, macroeconomics, or appreciation), definitely go with Cleveland.

You're not in the position to be a cash buyer...as a former wealth manager, it's simply not a good play for you for many of the reasons stated above and more.  

Certainly more options because you are no longer limited by imaginary boundaries of traffic and time.

Yes you have more options in the city, but it's no guarantee that you're going to get into a decent school anymore with families moving to catchment areas of the schools that they want and filling them.

I am a land lord but don’t own my residence.What are my options?

On public websites, I see some options to acquire a duplex in central Los Angeles under $550K which would require at least another $50K of work if I do not outsource most of the labor.

Sometimes cities will allow this, but it depends on local zoning rules.If neither option works, it might be worth consulting a real estate attorney to explore your options.

However, given the fact one is gone and the other is doing their best to cover all the rent, eviction would be a last option.
