Good/Bad Cleveland Suburbs

[Michael Potorti]

What are some strong areas to purchase property in Cleveland area? Looking at duplex in Garfield Heights. Also, Parma area looks good. Any other good areas and areas to avoid? Thanks!

I have had properties in Euclid and South Euclid (pretty good), Cleveland Hts (hit and miss, tougher area), Garfield Hts (good), Warrensville Hts (good), Shaker (good, Bedford Hts (good).  Just be aware of the rules wrt rehabbing since some require you to escrow funds for the rehab amount (that is if you are doing rehabs).
