Looking for a turn around scanrio is an ego pleaser, makes for a great story if it works, but high risk it will never pan out the way you thought.

My main concern is the interest rates being so high now as to whether what I'm hoping to achieve is really even possible. 

everything on and off market gets multiple offers almost immediately. 

We started with an offer of $1,000, but after some back-and-forth, we reached an agreement at $1,500.

Crime and Tenant Quality: With the higher crime rate in 76104, how much impact could this have on tenant retention and turnover?

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Again, this is due to how long it was taking to get work done, the quality and lack of communication (I'm happy to post examples as well), and frankly, the quality of work expected once I realized how many things I was not told about before the purchase.However, you did not offer in any way to address issues left by the prior tenant and made it clear that it was my responsibility.

Any landlord that offers this should have their head examined! 

You may not get the same tourist volume as Pigeon Forge, but you’ll attract a more consistent, quality guest base.If you're leaning toward an MTR, healthcare contracts and university housing demand will give you a steady stream of tenants.

Lots and lots of research.Price points also help, block quality, etc.
