Newbie 1st Visit Evaluation Questions

[Hendrix P.]

I'm looking for my first investment (rental) property in Allentown. I've contacted some real estate brokers and they've sent me listing. With the their listings and some of the ones I found, I have come up with a list of properties that interest me. So, I'm scheduling a day trip up to Allentown to go look, narrow down and pick the properties I truly think are good fit for me.

I would like to know if there are certain things that I should pay particular attention to when I'm evaluating a property? Also, if there are any red flags that I should look out for?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
