Best Cleveland Markets for Cash Flow?

Best Cleveland Markets for Cash Flow?

Cleveland, OH · Member since 2022 · 811 posts · 578 votes

For those based in Cleveland. 

Which markets do you think are the most promising and which areas look the best for cash flow investing? 

I am trying to narrow my search down to maybe 3 promising markets and look within those for a multi-family deal. I want to spend my time scoping out areas in great detail. 

Thank you! I really appreciate any insight.

Hi Ben - @Shane Kelly pointed out some great areas to scope out.

One thing to consider- You had mentioned in the forums previously that you had the goal of house hacking. If that is the case then you could even consider getting into a more premium neighborhood like Lakewood. If you buy a duplex using FHA financing then you only need 3.5% down and the rents are skyrocketing in Lakewood. Your cash on cash still ends up being amazing and you are living in a more desirable neighborhood with better tenants and a higher chance for appreciation as well.

    @Bob S. What about non-cash buyers?

    Multi-family deals go fast. I would look at Old Brooklyn/South Hills 44109, the Westpark/Kamm's Corners 44111 and 44135 North of Puritas. I would also look at northern summit county Northfield, Sagamore and Macedonia for SFH. Great schools, lower taxes and close to Cleveland and Akron.
