There is a barrier to entry, and the city is pro business, but our market had much better metrics.Lower entry points should not factor into getting in a market.

It's with the entry level SFH turn key business model as a whole.

Low entry and breakeven deals +- some cashflow.

Lower entry point compared to NY, 3.5hrs away.

Personally I consider it to be more of a entry level neighborhood for first time home buyers and a blue collar neighborhood for long term renters.

It's tough to give a definitive answer without knowing your specific investment goals (cash flow, appreciation, etc.) and preferred strategies (BRRRR, wholesaling, etc.).However, since I'm a Cleveland native and active in the real estate market here, I can offer some insights on why Cleveland could be a good fit:Affordability: Compared to many other major metros, Cleveland offers a relatively low barrier to entry.

@Andy Ptak when jumping into the industry you have a few choices:1) Start at the bottom2) Leverage your experience to convince someone to give you a chance3) Decide between:--- Big companies who will usually start you at the bottom--- Small companies that will more like to a chance on hiring you for an above entry level position.

I highly recommend starting with a basic househack, easy barrier to entry and gives you a crash course in being a landlord who lives on site.

That would be the minimum entry fee I would think.

Being a NYC resident (originally from Long Island), the price of entry in the area is on the higher end, so I've been considering some options in the NY Capitol region, as well as NJ and CT.
