Narrowed it down and put in an offer, and after a bit of negotiation, went under contract on a 2-story tract home (4br/2.5ba/2575sqft) in Rancho Vistoso, an upscale community in Oro Valley.

I have only seen it as a negative for owners, but you have put a different perspective for me to digest and think about.

I'm guessing they have census tract data in the database that can automatically determine that.

Managing over 1,000 properties we've have found that if you stay in touch, keep the inspections on tract, lines of communication open you have a better chance of success. 

If you want to tract equity, you need something like QBO. 

The new properties we are intending to purchase with the 1031 exchange would be 4 new construction single family tract homes for rental purposes (they would easily be completed within the 6 month window and many are half completed when purchased).

West Redding is a nice area and there are some older homes that have been remodeled in the Garden Tract Area.

Whatever you decide to look for, I can almost guarantee there’s more information than you have time to digest.  

I would suggest doing the training tracts on BP before you purchase any courses.
