I'm sure @James Wise knows his stuff for Cleveland proper and the West side as he deals with it day in and day out but others may / do have slightly different procedures / rulesIn the city of East Cleveland; - Serve the 3 Day notice (assuming like James simple non-payment of rent)- File on Tenant (you usually get a court date within 2-3 weeks), cost $155 I believe- In court, show that there is a lease and there is non-payment (I've actually sat in on this and watched the property manager / eviction lawyer basically read a script covering all the legal points)- Judge will usually give 7 - 10 days for tenant to get out (with or without stuff) OR get landlord to accept payment (even if payment is offered many landlords decline as they don't want the tenant)- On eviction day (if the tenant is not already out), court officials show up to remove the tenant at which point you can change the lock.

We are upgrading our internet to a fiber connection, and have found that most of our young tenants are watching their television through streaming internet.

WITH PITTSBURGH BEING THE CLOSEST BIG CITY (40 MIN AWAY) SHOULD I MAKE DEALS THERE ONLY OR JUST KEEP FINDING GOOD DEALS HERE AND WATCH THEM GO TO WASTE? 

I have gotten pretty good at estimating rehab costs just from doing this and I am pretty good at estimating ARV just from constantly watching the local market.

I have been reading the blogs and watching some of the webinar. 

I hate to admit it but I do love their show and it's through watching them that got me starting about getting into REI.
