Invest in Cleveland Real Estate
With Confidence
How We De-Risk Turnkey Rentals for
Out-of-State Buyers
Imagine purchasing a cash flowing rental in Cleveland without boarding a plane, then sleeping well because you have seen every inch of the property on video and a trusted local team is on call 24/7. That is exactly how we help investors win in a market many still overlook.
Many out of state buyers hesitate on Ohio rental properties. They hear Cleveland and think flyover state, or they worry about hidden repairs and unreliable management. At CAPI Homes, led by Bonnie Wu, we combine transparent information with hands on local execution so you can invest in Cleveland real estate with clarity, speed, and protection.

Why Cleveland Deserves a Second Look
"Cleveland is not a nowhere market"
Cleveland is not a nowhere market. It is a diversified economy with Fortune 500 employers, world class health care, and major league sports that help anchor year round demand. Our short term rentals regularly see strong occupancy, and long term rentals benefit from steady tenant pools and attainable price points that support healthy cash flow.
For investors, the story is simple. Solid job centers, proven tenant demand, and property prices that still make sense. If you skipped Ohio on your last real estate tour,y ou may be leaving yield on the table.
How We Make Out‑of‑State Investing Safe and Simple
We built our model around transparency and control, so you do not have to fly in to make a smart decision.
- Full property videos and photos. Every home we sell includes a complete video walkthrough, plus before and after photos when we renovate.
- Independent inspection reports. We provide professional inspection reports so you can verify condition beyond cosmetics.
- Live FaceTime tours. Join us for a real time walkthrough with our Ohio team and ask questions on the spot.
- In house renovations. We fix properties to a high standard before sale, addressing roofs, mechanicals, basements, and safety items, not just paint and flooring.
- One year repair coverage on our work. If something we renovated needs attention int he first year, we take care of it.
- Local, 24/7 support. Our Cleveland based team handles tenant emergencies, maintenance, and ongoing property management needs around the clock.
- Mortgage guidance. If you need financing, we can help you navigate lender options for Ohio rentals.
Turnkey should mean more than a clean listing. It should mean a partner who stands behind the property and stays engaged after closing. That is our promise.

The key is using the right data and working with a team that shows the good and the bad upfront.
The Biggest Misconception We Hear
"Many investors tell us they would never invest in a city they have not visited."
Your Due Diligence Checklist for Ohio Rental Properties
Do not rely on fresh paint. Verify the bones and the numbers. Here is the checklist we use and share with clients:
- Structure and roof. Age of roof, foundation movement, evidence of basement moisture or leaks.
- Mechanical systems. Condition and age of HVAC, water heater, electrical panel, and plumbing supply and drains.
- Safety and compliance. Smoke and CO detectors, GFCIs, handrails, egress, and local rental requirements.
- Inspection report. Third party report with photos, repair estimates, and a clear summary.
- Renovation scope. Detailed list of what was replaced or repaired, plus warranties on the work.
- Rent comps and demand. Recent comps for long term and, if applicable, short term rentals in the neighborhood.
- Taxes, insurance, and utilities. Up to date property tax data, expected insurance premiums, and who pays which utilities.
- Property management plan. Leasing strategy, tenant screening standards, maintenance process, and emergency response.
- Exit options. Likely resale comps and timeline if you choose to sell.
We check every box above for our properties, then package the evidence so you can review quickly and confidently.
