Heading to Cleveland, Recommended Areas
CA 路 Member since 2019 路 4 posts 路 1 vote
Hello all,
My first post here. I am in the process of getting getting an investment property Cleveland Area. I should note, I am in California and really don't know anything about Cleveland area. Now, I have a my first trip to Cleveland planned in two weeks to meet with an agent and have them show me around the area and show some properties. I won't have much time while I am there so I want to make sure I personally see the areas that would be appropriate for what I am looking for.
I am interested in property in C+ to B area that is around 1) SFH for around $80K range 2) Multi Family House in $120K range. I am not looking for fixers and hopefully properties that will require minimal rent ready prep.
So Cleveland experts here, any particular area is a must see area for my first trip? I've been reading that West Side is better than east side and also heard Old Brooklyn area is good.
Any susggestions would be

Better is a relative term. There are various levels of risk. Does better to you mean less or more risky? Check out The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods to get an understanding of the risk levels associated with each neighborhood and tour the ones that fit your criteria and risk tolerance.
@Michael Choe I am from the Cleveland area and there are decent areas on both the west and east side. You also have suburbs like Euclid, South Euclid, Garfield Heights and the Waterloo district is going through gentrification. Hope this helps.

I would suggest sticking to the Eastside. Inventory is higher and so is opportunity. Look at places like Euclid, South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Lyndhurst, Mayfield Heights, University Heights, Bedford, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Warrensville Heights, Wickliffe, Eastlake, Willowick, and Mentor.

I recently moved to Cleveland from California so be prepared for the condition of the houses to be a little worse than you would expect. It was a bit of a shock when I first toured some solid but dated C/B class houses.
SFH for $80k turnkey will be Euclid, South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Garfield Heights and Old Brooklyn.
Be sure to check out Ohio City, Tremont, and East Bank Flats when you are here.You will probably see the rough areas while driving around so it is nice to see the really cool development going on too.

I prefer the West side to avoid POS and rental registration hassles. 44111,44135,44109 all should have inventory that fits the criteria you've laid out. It is a bit more competitive (most good deals on the MLS on the West side will get multiple offers and sell for asking price or beyond very quickly) but there is still opportunity there.
East side is okay if you're prepared to deal with POS, paying $200+ rental registration fees and the costs of associated repairs, so on and so forth. Keep in mind that property managers are going to charge service fees to handle this paperwork and be present at inspections on top of their normal placement fees and monthly fees.
@Michael Choe Please message me BEFORE you go to Cleveland. I have rentals there and have dealt with three different PMs so I can perhaps be a resource as to who to avoid. I also know some investor friendly agents there as well.

@Michael Choe - I've been investing in Cleveland for the past 3.5 years. I live in Boston and understand the out of state model (either my partner or I are on the ground in Cleveland every month). With that the majority of our portfolio is on the west side (Ohio City, Detroit-Shoreway, Edgewater) with some other positions in Newburgh Heights and Slovic Village.
We invest in several other states and I like our Cleveland portfolio the best (a function of loving to visit, the actual returns, and I feel the city has real momentum behind it now).
