, status of major building components (roof, HVAC, structural, electrical, plumbing), accounts receivable aging (are all tenants paying or is the $20,500 schedule rent?)

Eastmoor and whitehall are good too because of newer home ages after 1940 where you don't have knob and tube wiring and some of the other issues. don't be afraid to look at new construction or ground up new builds closer to downtown. rentals are overpriced in these areas but build costs are low and it can be a good strategy
