My Rental Property Was Built over the Ruins of the Glenville Shootout in Cleveland! 

The audacity of that tenant. Poor baby has endured so much trauma living rent free.

Kind of bummed about the cash for keys deal, seems she is being rewarded for her bad behavior, I do understand your reasons though but it sure would have been fun to watch a video of her and her belongings being taken to the gutter.

These criminal tenants are the scum of the earth, and the government needs to arrest them for grand theft immediately. Get rid of that house!

Yeah I remember I was looking at a 48 unit complex there, the numbers made sense on paper until I learned more about how awful tenants in the area are.

Finally gotten good news to get rid of the free loaders of tenants. Smart to fix it up to get it on the market and wipe your hands clean from this house.

" interesting " 😂😂😂perfect word to use.I use it often, too

She sure had some gall to ask for 35k! Unbelievable sense of entitlement from a literal free-loader.

Oh how I laughed out loud when you said she wanted you to pay her $35k. Wtf.

Glenville Riots? I've always heard about the Hough Riots. I put this on my favorites, cause I'm also a history buff, plus being my city. My mom & her siblings grew up in the Glenville neighborhood. Interesting how you're part of history, now. I'm glad this is closer to being the end of this chapter, for you.

I also had a bad experiance in Cleveland. Not as much money as you and I donated the home to the church next to the house. All kinds of issues and was not worth me fighting through them to keep it.

WOW. The COVID policies are probably still hurting many landlords. Once you get used to not having to pay.... Then there are all your other issues. Thanks for letting us learn from your mistakes :-)

Glad to see this chapter come to an end....but wow....the history around the property is fantastic!!

"Wishing-I-hadn't-boughtedness"!

I'm so glad you're finally going to get rid of this bad investment I know it was somebody you trusted that talked you into buying this property but that tenant is a grifter. You've been more than kind to the tenant

I love learning the history on things too. It is fascinating. I'm glad that you are finally bringing this one to an end. what a mess.

great news!

what an absolute gem of a Liquor store/apartment/market, could see you buying that in a heartbeat

market it as a historic Glenville riots airbnb. I'm sure there's some niche of people that would like that.

SELL AND RUUUUUN !!! Thanks for the content Boss, guess Murder rooms in Houses are not your only Problems 🤣

Could you do a year review video at some point? It would be cool to know all the properties that have been sold, a quick update on all the properties that are left.

You've got a historical landmark Cleveland used to be nice, then it wasn't, and now it is again. Not as good as the 1920's though. (I live here)

When you do cash-for-keys to get a tenant out, do you stipulate that they only get the money if they don't destroy the place?

why is the Property Management on the tenent's side? How are their palms being greased and from who, to make this fight against you (by the Property Management) worth it.

despite all the blah blah blah the tenant should be paying rent on this beautiful house. No excuse after 3 year gravy train. At this point tenant should have more than enough to buy another home somewhere else.

Politicians keep wanting to help tenants with their rent and stop evictions. while it helps the tenants, it doesn't help the landlords. They don't understand that the landlords need to make money or they will not buy more properties and may sell them or abandon them once tenants leave. Then there are no more places for rent.

i would not buy houses in another state. also do your research before you buy. thanks for sharing.

How much was offered for the cash for keys?

Hope she doesn’t trash the house. Insist on an inspection before paying the tenant.

Are they going after the back rent ? We just got in Tuesday to one that we bought at Sheriff's sale on 23 March here in Ohio . I like to be able to keep an eye on them that is why we keep close by . Me and the wife love the high interest rate cash is king . I'm about 50 mins from the one of yours .

“Shootout house” will do well for CPMs at least

What do you think about Seldin company for property management?

YES, SELL, SELL, SELL!

I enjoyed the information you provided in this video. I worked 7 days a week before and during "covid" and paid my rent ( May 2017 ) but unfortunately I had 2 strokes in October 2020 and thru a series of events I applied for assistance for my rent and my landlord worked tirelessly to make sure all the paperwork was filed on his end and I did the same on my end, my girlfriend and I were constantly calling all the numbers we had trying to follow up and finally we received our approval after 3 months then another 2 months before they cut a check for my landlord and in the mean time I using money from Insurance I had thru work to keep the rent current ( 845 ) out of 1500.00 in disability Insurance monthly, between DR. visits and therapy and normal living expenses I struggled but I didn't give up and the 2nd time the rental assistance came up I applied and approved and was not any different than the first time. I still live that mobile home park and it has 200 mobile homes in it and everyone has a unique circumstance and not all cared 1 bit about the landlord and his financial needs but I do care. My health has not changed good or bad and I still struggle every month but my rent gets paid, I cannot afford to live any where else in this economy and rising rental prices and everything else rising plus any credit I did have went out the window when I had my stroke because I went from $ 1500 a week to $ 1500 a month, rent is necessary but it's not FREE.

The company was taking the money

Great history! Yea.. sell the house. That neighborhood is crap!

You could have easily advertised it to other squatters if they remove previous illegal tenant. For a price

Sure hope she takes that trampoline so you don't have another liability😮

A tentative Hallelujah. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when that SCAB of a tenant gets out. Why is every life lesson so expensive? Lol. 🖖🙏

Did you see the trampoline?

When you sell, do you have to return all the $$$ to your IRA?

Interesting back story. Oh look , another trampoline ! lol When i was a kid a homeless man killed one of our neighbors in the yard next door ! Beat him to death with the heel of a boot.

gees .. well soon you will be rid of it and thats the best thing

I think if anyone suffered anguish it was you. Glad you're getting out. Sounds cursed by the Glenville shootings. Live and learn.

What was the basis for the lawsuit filed against you by the tenant?

You know she will trash that house out . People now days always wants something for nothing

Cleveland has made it intentionally difficult for out of state investors. They are trying to stop the in-flooding of investors buying up cheap real estate for high cash flow

I thought Ohio was landlord friendly? Is it just Cleveland that has bad rules?

Mark you forgot to mention how much you offered her for the keys.

Are you placing a judgement against her for past due rent? Not that you'll get it or anything, just a nice parting gift for someone who takes advantage of your position.

I know you had people hired to run your business with the property management, etc. but it’s still your job to pay attention to your finances into your business. You don’t just put it in somebody else’s hand and walk away that’s a recipe for disaster every single time.

Unfortunately that history probably won't add value Mark. However, that's great news to get rid of the occupants. Someone who would ask for money while they've been robbing you blind is a useless Scoundrel. East Cleveland is NASTY!!!! Get rid of it asap.

U have alot of drama, sorry.

Never buy a property in another town, let alone another state on the other side of the country. When I was looking to invest in Cleveland, I noticed the law regarding evictions that the property has to be in your name; otherwise you have to hire a lawyer to file/appear in court for you. For those who hold properties an LLC or a trust, that's a major hassle and extra expense. There's a "wolf" real estate broker Holton Wise who has a youtube channel and they are located in Cleveland. It's not a town for lazy landlords. You need to know what you're doing, otherwise operator tenants take advantage of you. Sorry it didn't work out. It's okay though, you're a rich guy so you can take the hit.

You'll lose money renting out in the ghettos.😁

Well you poor man. How preposterously awful.

whyever would you take out of an IRA to buy this not evening seeing it. dont take advice from this guy. come on folks this is basic common sense
