For rentals, Westwood, Price Hill (certain streets), and Madisonville offer good cash flow potential.

Minimum of 2 off‐street parking spaces available for guests.Vehicle limit: Typically 1 vehicle per 1-bedroom unit, or 2 vehicles for 2+ bedrooms, unless the Director approves more based on site conditions.Occupancy limits: Generally maximum of 2 persons per bedroom + 2 extra persons for overnight occupancy.

That may mean liquidating assets (a second car, collectible Pokemon cards, motorcycles), whatever can generate some capital to eventually leverage into a down payment.

Instead of generally looking for a multi-family, pick two or three neighborhoods that have the right blend of strong cash flow and moderate risk, like parts of Hilltop or Whitehall.Once you know exactly what streets you want to buy on, it makes finding the right investor-focused agent and property manager much easier because you can find people who specialize in those specific pockets.Good luck with your search!

If you and your wife are committed to investing in all cash, I recommend Wall Street.

After visiting the area, it felt pretty rough in parts, lots of streets look run down, though there are a few renovated homes mixed in.

We use a small regional bank , Main Street Bank which is headquartered in W Va., which recently merged with Wayne Savings formerly headquartereed in Wooster, OH.

We rode motorcycles through all these towns.

It has two apartments that generate $28K a year and a basement where I have heated storage for cars and motorcycles that generates another  $12K.After speaking with a few banks I have been able to acquire some financing.
