If its a good deal sure. They are easy to rent out, but we do have pretty bad homeless right now downtown so keep that in mind.

We get most of our applications from Zillow group and FB marketplace. Maybe try listing your minimum criteria on the FB ad? Might weed out some of the bad applicants. Our software we use sends it out to all of those, but we do seem to get the best potentials from Zillow group.

Congrats from here as well! I actually looked at one extremely similar, possibly the same one, before. Good area and I think you made an excellent investment.

I second what Keenan said. I invest in the "rough" areas of Anchorage and they are nothing compared to the bad areas I have seen in other cities in the lower 48. Biggest issue we have up here is vehicle thefts tbh. And most of those are from people starting their car in the winter and going back inside. Crime of opportunity after all. 

We do have very high levels of alcohol and drug abuse, which lead to a lot of the vagrancy issues Keenan was talking about.

Mt View isnt bad, that's where I got started. But you need to keep an eye on your property there. I wouldnt reccomend it for long distance unless you have a really good PM, and most really good PMs probably wouldnt take it TBH. If you owner occupy and will be keeping an eye on it though it's a good place to start for cash flow, if that's what you need.

I'll second Jamie Rose as a Realtor. Good guy to use for investments.
