Focus on attracting midterm renters through platforms like Furnished Finder, especially during slower periods.

Any capital improvements on a not owned yet property would involve a complex 1031 you’d want someone like @Dave Foster involved in. 

Personally If you like your current residence and hope to stay there long term I would forgo major improvements on my primary and use all investment savings to make you more money and cash flow. 

I have been following the Real Estate Investing industry for a while and just recently decided to put my focus into it and implement a plan I had in mind for years.So I went down to Puerto Vallarta I put together a team of local realtors, brokers, contractors, property managers and a lawyer. 

I would focus on REALLY GOOD Realtor. 

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

Most out-of-state investors looking at Detroit are typically focused on cash flow, which means they're usually targeting C or C+ neighborhoods.

Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

you seem to want to focus on 100% occupancy.

Personally (as a STR-focused REALTOR), I would never give you numbers and tell you you can hit them.
