Cleveland Ranks 26th for best places to live

The Cleveland Area has a lot to offer to business and investment real estate. It has all the amenities that any large city has.  Investment real estate is among the best of all the larger cities.  In fact The Economist ranked Cleveland 26th as the best place to live in the world.

With the smaller suburbs,quality schools,Lake Erie, Low crime rate makes Cleveland a highly desirable place to live and work.  Inventory on real estate has dropped by 50% and sales are brisk.  Rental returns are 15%-22% in the Cleveland area.

The best thing about the Cleveland market is it is still very affordable and there is a high demand for rental properties. Rents range from $850-$1450 a month for homes and $550-$1050 a month for duplex's.  THE DEMAND IS VERY HIGH!

We are finishing up a duplex in Lakewood Ohio 2029 Dowd  the property has been rented for 2 weeks @ $900 unit 2 and $675 Unit 1.  We usually rent out our properties before they are finished. Another home we just finished in Cleveland Heights Ohio 3321 Beechwood we rented for $1100 a month 3 weeks before it was done.  I do not count anything rented until we get a deposit from the tenant.  We also do an extensive credit check on each tenant. 

I could go on and on with properties with similar stories.  The great thing about Rooftopinvestment is the quality and affordability of our investment program.  I have also thrown in a couple of quick facts about Cleveland and a really great video.
