Considering the Neighborhood

[Mike Cahill]

I am a new investor. Interested in hearing what experienced investors consider when selecting a property to invest in. I am more interested in what you consider when you analyze the street and neighborhood where a residential property is located. I recently came across a property that appeared promising but then I noticed that the neighboring home is messy and has trash in the yard. Would this deter you? It is difficult because the property is located in the inner city so trash issues are not unheard of. Sometimes I think I take my personal preferences into consideration which I know is a No No for rentals.
