I honestly don't trust people with my credit and money do to a few bad apples. 

You may be talking about comparing apples and oranges.

Cap rates aren't important when you are comparing apples and oranges.

Yes, there are bad apples who will use every trick to grab a larger share of the overage than justified; however condemning the entire industry is like condemning all landlords because some are slumlords.  

Comparing a "rough" fourplex with a nice large apartment community offering a pool, etc, is comparing apples and oranges.

I'd appreciate any insight on 38018 Cordova neighborhood from the locals, in particular the area just a little north of Mullins Stations Rd (near intersect with Appling Rd). 

I think it's going to be difficult to create meaningful apples-to-apples comparisons between these cities (but I think that's OK, and I'll explain why).  

Besides  being the "Next Portland" or a better version of itself, Pittsburgh has really been dubbed as the 2nd "Silicon Valley" with it's tech influence largely funded by big named companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Autodesk, Uber and Ford AI Initiative among others who have set up shop here.

I just think we maybe need to be careful not lump everyone together until we really know if they are one of the bad apples, or few good ones.I know that would be irresponsible and careless of me to do, and would hurt the whole industry, that a lot of jobs rely on.I started out rehabbing in 1994.
