Make or Break Features in Pittsburgh Rentals

[Randy Hunter]

I'm aware of Pittsburgh's vast differences in the real estate market from suburb to suburb, neighborhood to neighborhood, and street to street in some cases. But, in general, are there characteristics of a rental property that can make or break a good deal? Are there things to absolutely avoid if at all possible that could be somewhat common in Pittsburgh? Obviously people are attracted to brand new bathrooms and granite countertops but are there any other things to be aware of that have caused you to have a hard time, or a really easy time, getting tenants in your properties?
