Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus all have affordable real estate markets that are largely driven by local economic conditions and the health of the city's manufacturing industry.

For that reason, I have updated the precautions and practices I have established to help prevent the spread of germs and prioritize the health and wellness of everyone involved.

These statistics do not bode well for the overall health of the country.

It is also an eye sore for the neighbors and neighborhood, can create a public nuisance or health issue, and often left to the parish to try to maintain at their (tax payers) cost.

Get a second opinion, as a minimum, on your taxes just like you would with a health problem 

In Atlanta especially the hard hit areas in the city you had rampant fraud.Take an old house that is 80 years old and put lipstick on it (con job) and then flip it and make 100k.City was more than happy to increase tax assessments to line the coffers.Now you have houses selling for 10k that are assessed at 150k to 200k.The taxes on these properties are insane.So even if you received 600 a month the taxes are about 60 percent of that.Factor in other holding costs and you are treading water if you are lucky.When you purchase you are buying for cash flow,potential appreciation,and potential redevelopment.Cash flow is what you buy on today.The other 2 items need to be factored in but can't be counted on.I would much rather buy in a suburban area.Buy an older house on land in the way of future commercial development.Get the house for 75k on 2 acres with road frontage.Rent out or use as your office for years until the developers come a knockin.Easily sell that 2 acres for 200k apiece if you bought the right land.In Atlanta these old houses the rent might rise a little in a few years and they might go from a bought price of 10k to 45k but I also think they will be money pits with all the items that are wrong with them (old foundation,knob and tube,galvanized plumbing,asbestos,tenant health claims,etc.)I just think there are much better investment mediums than these types of properties.They are appealing because many people have very little money so have to buy the high risk stuff.Sometimes it works out but many times you get burned.I would rather buy run down properties in much nicer areas.

A doctor or trained mental health professional is the only one that can "prescribe" an ESA for a patient.

The summary came back saying the levels were "low" but the spore Stachybotrys "could cause a health concern.

Here are other possible sources of lead: lead-based paint used in the interior/exterior of older buildings, lead in paint chips, lead in plumbing pipes, drinking water, job sites (lead contaminated clothing brought home or on the skin), old painted toys and furniture, food and liquids stored in lead crystal or lead-glazed pottery, lead smelters or other nearby industries releasing lead in the air, hobbies that use lead (pottery, stained glass, refinishing furniture), some folk health remedies, painted objects brought from foreign countries.Also, if the children are in daycare or frequent another location, check if exposure may have come from that location.

Paying down debt on real estate is risky from and investment and financial health perspective.
