The sellers had put so much pots, plants, planters and shrubs out that I thought there were too many plants/planters that would require a new owner to upkeep.After a few potential buyer tours/showings, the owner heard all the comments (via the security cameras) about how there was a "lot going on with the plants and stuff out front".

I'm also looking for stable population and potential appreciation. 

One time I had a guest smoke and it went right up the ducts into my unit, it was awful.I'm conscious about how that could potentially affect guests who will be staying in the upper unit in the future.

When evaluating potential properties, consider three exit strategies: if you can sell quickly for a profit, hold it as a rental, or take a loss.

Since this is my first project, I’m very open to any advice or suggestions—especially regarding potential obstacles I might not have considered.

Evaluate potential rental properties with a keen eye on location, cash flow, and potential appreciation.

Home is potentially upside down on mortgage (verifying that) and current owner wants too much for the house.
