It just depends on your goals.You also have to be careful with posts like these, this is where all the real estate agents come in and tell you that their market is best so that they can get your business.If your goal is appreciation, I would focus on higher price point markets.

I'm very careful to avoid publishing the addresses and the addresses don't appear in the videos or the photos. 

Plus while she may have taken good care of the place, you have no idea if the son will.
