Quality of life is big though so make sure you have time for family.

Tenant quality and reliability would be my main issue.

If you're going to pm yourself you just need to spend a lot of time finding as many quality contractors as you can and getting bids from them.

Does anyone have any insight into the quality/reputation of this builder or this development in particular?

Agree with everyone else, blinds are important to attracting quality tenants.

That being said with my construction background, the availability of SFH that need to be rehabilitated and the need for quality rentals here, I choose to rent to the locals.

Look at this linkhttps://www.nps.gov/nr/regulations.htm#6015 specifically sec. 60.15a) Grounds for removing properties from the National Register are as follows: (1) The property has ceased to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register because the qualities which caused it to be originally listed have been lost or destroyed, or such qualities were lost subsequent to nomination and prior to listing;Sounds like yours fits this criteria.

@Sanj Kumaryou can learn a lot from this site along with meeting good quality people.

Then at that point, the inspection and appraisal confirms I'm not buying an outlier to their normally-good property quality.Yes, there is a trade-off for buying turnkey or turnkey-quality.

@Demetrius Potts especially if you have limited funds it's important to buy a property that meets minimum quality levels and does not require extensive capex.
