Welcome to Cleveland! Progressive Urban Real Estate would like to congratulate all of those medical students who were matched to one of Cleveland's esteemed hospital systems.  For those not familiar with Match Day, it is the day that medical students across the country find out if they have been chosen for a residency and where the residency will be.  Cleveland, with its strong medical institutions, is a top spot to land.  Generally medical residents will be around for 3-5 years and start working at their selected hospitals on July 1st so between now and then it is a flurry of activity getting to know the Cleveland area and deciding where to live and whether to rent an apartment or purchase a home.  

For those medical residents coming to town, our team of experienced agents work hard to help buyers navigate the local real estate market. To assist new hospital residents with the relocation process, we put together a list of the top questions buyers should ask themselves when looking to buy in the Cleveland area.

1. Do you want to lease or purchase?
2. What are you looking for in a home? What are your must haves? 
3. Are you looking for a single-family home? Duplex? Condominium?
4. What is your max budget?
5. What kind of loan are you planning to finance with?  
6. Are you familiar with 0% down doctor loans?
7. Is there a specific neighborhood you want to focus on?
