Future of REI in Cleveland

Hi all, I am an overseas investors, no experience in USA market. Actually I am a full time physician but very keen on REI. I am trying to find the best possible cities for buy and hold, I am cash buyer at least for the short term so cash flow is important but also capital gain on the long run or at least I want to be confident that I can sell easily should I need to.

Numbers in Cleveland are very good now , but i have some concerns about the future outlook and would love to hear from experts.

what do you think about Cleveland future?

Apart from the excellent cash flow now , almost all the other indicators are bad.

population decline for decades, poverty levels are high, un employment levels are very high
