I would recommend Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, Euclid, Kamms Corners, Parma, Garfield Heights and maybe some select parts of Cleveland depending on what you are looking for. 

If the never-used bathroom fixtures can’t be salvaged, they may have to be smashed, at considerable risk to workers.

The lender never took into consideration my 401k loan and I am still paying it back now.

Are there other considerations that I haven’t thought of?

Here are the major considerations in evaluating different markets:Your budget: are you looking to buy under $200K, $200-300K, $300-500K or higher?

Thanks @Cooper MarcusOf course, the threshold considerations are whether (i) you are eligible (i.e. self-employed with no full-time w-2 employees) and (ii) retirement funds in an account that you can rollover (i.e. former employer plan and/or non-Roth IRA that is invested in investments that can be liquidated an acceptable cost).Assuming that you cross these threshold issues, here are some additional comments/considerations:1.

I'm currently looking in South Sacramento & Del Paso Heights in Sac, and also in parts of Stockton.

(Montclare, Old Irving Park, Portage Park, Harwood Heights, Belmont Cragin)  We did several full gut rehabs on 60's/70's properties that had been owned by the same person for 20-30+ years. 

So take that into consideration as well.This is by no means expert advice, but I hope it helps!

The main two neighborhoods I'm looking at is Euclid and the triangle neighborhood formed between Cleveland Heights, University Heights and Coventry Village.
