The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods should help you cover a lot of ground in regards to what exactly your looking at when you are checking out listings on Zillow or other websites.As for some more data to chew on in regards to population trends i've found City-Data.com to have a pretty decent chunk of info.Good luck to you & feel free to tag me if you have any follow up questions on this market or investing in general.

  - current rents as reported to tax assessor in Jan 2017 = $12,860    (10 for $770 ea, 8 for $645 ea)- current taxes are $12,580 (WI bases taxes on the reported income I was told)- yearly expenses of $61k include -sewer (a killer at $10,320/yr), water (well), gas for boiler, common area electric, insurance, 5% management fee, $800/mo CapEx, garbage, insurance, and maintenance fees - all units were reported rented to assessor although at least 5 units have obviously been vacant for a long time (as evidenced by the several months old gas/electric company shutoff tags hanging on the doors).

I know those places are fairly large 3000-4000 sq ft and if your just going to gut the whole thing (windows, HVAC, and all) I could see the price.All that being said, I have a difficult time understanding the $900 or $1000/mo price tag per unit. 

This must be near downtown...or someone didn't tag the property details properly...

I've made the mistake of trying to push for that $25-$30k deal and it just turns my buyers off seeing that "retail" price tag.  

Also, tagging local investors on BP is a great way to get the word out. 

Willing to tag along and “intern” to learn the game if anyone is willing to teach.
