Mike and Brook revisit the topic of micro-targeting investment properties, a discussion first explored pre-COVID. They dive into the key indicators that determine whether a neighborhood is on the rise, in decline, or holding steady. From analyzing vacancy rates to spotting investment opportunities near high-demand areas, they break down the signals that real estate investors should pay attention to. Plus, they share insights on vetting tenants and assessing the long-term potential of a rental property. All this and more on the Cleveland Real Estate Investor Podcast
01:15 Mike warns investors to be cautious when dealing with realtors, as their primary goal is selling homes rather than advising on investment potential.
04:30 Brooke explains how local businesses like coffee shops and restaurants can indicate an up-and-coming neighborhood, contrasting them with areas dominated by dollar stores and check-cashing locations.
08:30 Mike explains how vacant and dilapidated houses on a street can signal a poor investment, emphasizing the importance of checking Google Maps for neighborhood conditions.
13:10 Mike and Brooke discuss the importance of visiting a neighborhood at different times, especially at night, to get a real feel for noise levels, safety, and overall livability before investing.
19:45 Mike identifies Van Aken in Shaker Heights as a successful example of retail-driven neighborhood growth and suggests Warrensville Heights as a potential emerging market.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
