Unless it's a small job with an obvious solution, get an engineer ($250) to look at it and sketch up a scope of work for a contractor to do.12.

Which means the only solutions in their arsenal they can present to someone who wants to put a lot of money aside for the future involves overfunding whole life, universal life, variable universal life or equity-index universal life policies.

Completely renovate the kitchen, 2 small size bathrooms, floors all over, "freshen up the windows" (windows were pretty old but contractor said we might not need to change them), cut off tree branches on top of the roof, add a walkway in the front.

I heard some believe no local agent that knows what they are doing would  sign this and on the other hand some are very skeptical the city would even  enforce this given the domino effect it may create. since I am considering buying a new investment property in Cleveland I  would like  to know: are there any solution if the city decide to enforce this?

There's no 100% solution to rental properties.

In my case, I try to avoid answering their questions and instead focus on helping them work through the scenario and develop their own solutions.

I believe that most landlords who are willing to accept Vouchers are trying to be a part of the housing crisis solution.

I realize this is a completely subjective issue that depends on individual circumstances, goals, strategy etc.....I'm not looking for any perfect solution or hot tips, I'm just trying to look for potential long term value and a flexible market, and I'm interested in hearing about how others conduct their more general market analysis.  

Any ideas or solutions are surely appreciated though and thanks for the offer!

Also any solutions as to what to do with the old fashioned window panes that I’ll be left with ?
