Rental property can have very stable, respectful and reliable tenants. Cleveland, OH

Yes, that’s right! It all depends on product, location and good tenant screening. If you don’t have all three, your vacancy rate will be elevated. Let’s talk about product first. We advise our students that they furnish their properties with clean functional items, new linens and art work on the walls. What you are creating is an environment that is very pleasing to the tenant, one that not only the tenant will look forward to coming home to, but also one, through pictures on flyers, web sites and word of mouth, will attract new inquires. We are all for building and keeping a pipeline.

Many furnished rooms for rent are not clean and contain aged, thread bear chairs, sofas, and soiled mattresses. Would you want to stay any longer than you had to in a place that does not support a good sense of self-esteem? Nicely furnished rooms engender good paying tenants, who stay for extended periods.

Our preferred tenant populations generally do not have their own transportation so proximity to public transportation is necessity.

Key to this equation within our program is good tenant screening, which strangely enough does not include credit or traditional background checks. Our tenants are referred to us, so we gain knowledge about them and their history though direct questioning of people who are familiar with each potential tenant individually. We discover personal background information and work experience. This type of screening done systematically will produce good paying renters who stay for long periods creating a stable house.

Don't hesitate to contact us with questions. Learn about us. Learn our system. Learn what others have to say about us and our system.

Cleveland Has the WORST Winter Weather -- Say it ain't so Joe!!!

Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Informal Sledding Hill

Okay, Forbes.com has ranked Cleveland has having the worst winter weather of the largest 50 cities when comparing total precipitation, average annual temps, and total snowfall.

Everyone I spoke with today around Cleveland were perplexed, but NOAA can't be wrong if they have gathered data over the past thirty years.

What doesn't make any sense to me is: Ask anyone who lives in Minneapolis or Chicago for that matter, who has worse winter weather, Minneapolis or Chicago or Cleveland. If you were to line up a ton of people, I could pretty much guess that most everyone would rank Cleveland third of the three.

I would love for the authors of this article to spend January in Minneapolis and then February in Cleveland (or vice versa) and see when they compare zero degrees in Minneapolis to 22 in Cleveland and see which one they would prefer. Granted, Minneapolis gets far more sunny days, but zero degrees is zero degrees is zero degrees.

Not being defensive here, just one Clevelander's view.

Cleveland does NOT have the worst winter weather! Don't believe me? I bet there are a ton of folks in Washington, D.C. that would disagree about now? I know, that's not typical either. Having lived in DC for quite a while, I know how fast the bread and milk disappears from Safeway when 2" are predicted, let alone the deluge they encountered last week and again right now.

Perhaps Forbes ought to measure the supply of milk and bread available during the different amounts of snowfall, that would probably be a more accurate gauge! :)

Just sayin...

P.S. -- The photo is an informal sledding hill in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near my home. Doesn't exactly remind you of that scene in Fargo when they were burying the money on the side of the road when you could hear the tires crunching on the snow. :)

Below you will see the inventory and absorption rate data for single family homes in Brecksville Ohio. The records for closed sales are only for the past 6 months. The absorption rate is how many months it will take to sell your home as it relates to the amount of inventory and closed sales. If there have been 30 sales in the past 6 months, that equals 5 sales per month. If there are 50 available listings then it will take approximately 10 months to sell your home. These are averages and there are other factors that will come into play for every homeowner, such as the condition and specific location of your home, and most importantly, the price you choose. Also note that the absorption rate will typically be higher in the last quarter of the year and in the beginning of the first quarter of the year as sales slow down, thereby increasing the number of active listings on the market and subsequently increasing the absorption rate.
