Hello I'm researching the Cleveland suburbs to invest in rental properties and read a Biggerpockets forum on property tax, and although there are some comments on the issue, I'm still unclear whether investors will pay a higher property tax than owners occupying properties (as it happens in Florida where I have 2 properties). 

The issue is although it is a two bedroom, the 2nd bedroom is actually a former tuckunder garage, it has a door leading to the outside, no bathroom in the immediate vicinity(the bathroom is located next to the master bedroom upstairs), and is the only access to the utility room. 

When he returned I issued him a non-renewal of lease notice and he had 30 days to vacate.

Many will suggest you leverage as much as possible if you are still in a positive cash flow situation and you have the reserve funds necessary to cover any issues. 

I have a friend who did this and it has not been an issue. 

Rent payments are not an issue. 

A lot of hear-say around those issues.

That’s half the issue right there

I have had solar customers claim the ITC on second homes and vacation homes without any issues.
