     Welcome to the site Gladys.......Since you're looking into Cleveland I highly recommend you give The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods a read........Tons of good info in there for you. Cleveland is awesome but still filled with a lot of blight so it's best you know what you're getting yourself into in each of the various neighborhoods.

    Thanks for organizing! I'm very interested in meeting others who have rentals in Cleveland as we're considering purchasing some properties to buy and hold out there. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

    I'm going to Cleveland for a tech conference between May 1 - 9. Any recommendation on what neighborhoods I should go check it out?
    I don't have any REI experience and I'm a software engineer in trade, so I tend to assume everything will turn into worst case scenario and get trap into analysis paralysis.

    Sammy Lyon yeah I should have mentioned my goals and price points, but the reality is that I don't really know. I just start learning about REI by soaking myself in BP podcast/forum for the past few months, so I probably have little to no knowledge.
    So here is my ignorant and laughable goals and price points:

    • goals: both appreciation and cash flow, with multiple exit strategies incase thing goes south. just kidding, I will be glad to learn something usefully and not lose money on this market.
    • price points: ~150K with conventional loan, hopefully to find something from non war zone.

    TBH, I'm just trying to learn about REI as much as I can, so when the market turns I would be little bit more prepare.

    Live in northern CA, but get to LA 3-4 times/year. If there happens to be a meetup in late July or early August would love to attend. Just got back from Cleveland with my family visiting friends. First time out there, but would like to go back. Definitely look more closely at investing there.
