PROPERTY INVESTMENT IN BUCKEYE SHAKER, CLEVELAND??

Question

Good morning,

I am planning to buy a property to rent in Buckeye Shaker.

I know it is a quarter with quite a lot of criminality. However, I have also heard that it really depends on the specific area the property is located. It also looks like the quarter has good economic development plans to revitalize the local economy.

To be specific, I am planing to buy in 3205E 132nd ST, CLEVELAND, OH 44120. I do not have the impression that the area is that bad on google maps. However, it is really hard to evaluate when you don't know the place.

If you really know the area, could you please give me your advice?

I really appreciate you help.

Have a good day.

Sure. Just plug in the address in trulia.com, and scroll down to the crime button bout 1 third of the way down the page. I always check trulia specifically for this feature.

Actually, there is already a Section 8 tenant in the property and the net profitability is quite good.

What woories me most is (i) the fact that te property could have a high vacancy rate and (ii) the fact that the house could suffer acts of vandalism. However, when I look this area on google.maps, the houses look pretty good. It is quite confusing. What do you think about that?

Thank you again for your big help!
