Answer:
I lived in Akron for 23 years. Swenson's hamburgers are the best!! It's an OK city - the schools are OK and they have a lot of malls.
That house is over the east side of Akron. Near Ellet (suburb of Akron). The house price is on the low end for the area. It might have bad plumbing. I don't know what street it's on, but it's a mildly safe neighborhood for the most part.

What are the best places to eat in Akron Ohio? Question: I'll be going to Ohio next week and staying in Akron. Anyone who's been there or lives there have any recommendations?
Answer:
A family owned Akron institution is Parasson's original location on Waterloo Road. They have good food, decent sized portions and reasonable prices (especially at lunch time). As long as you're not creeped out by a giant Al Capone head on the wall looking at you, you'll do fine here.
A one of a kind place would be the Tangier near downtown on Market Street. This is higher priced with manufactured higher class to match. The Tangier is more well known as a meeting place, but it's restaurant is another long time Akron staple. Whenever I ate there, the place's pretentiousness seemed to distract from the quality of the food. Jeans and t-shirt definitely don't cut it here. They renovated the place recently to change its long date purple Eqyptian decor to a brown and beige wonderland. Whether that was a good or bad choice is in the eye of the beholder.

Can a home investor buy a home then sell it to me if I cannot get a loan? I live in Akron Ohio.Thanks.? Question: Can a home investor buy a home then sell it to me if I cannot get a loan? I live in Akron Ohio.Thanks.
It is difficult to buy a home in need of repairs with the market in this state. I was told an investor could buy it and re-sell it to me a lot easier because they are claiming it is an "investment" property. Any advice? Thanks!
1 second ago - 3 days left to answer.
Answer:
Probably not. I only say that because the investor might be able to buy the property and claim it as an investment but when they sell it to you, then you would have to still apply for a loan to pay for the property. Which means it would still be a purchase and you would need a down payment and pay for closing costs.
