As long as the property is in good shape and is able to market itself in the event of a vacancy, then I think you've got a stable, good performing asset. 

Stay informed about market trends, property management best practices, and adjust your strategies as needed.

The house was in good shape and purchased by a homeowner, showing that our whole-tailing strategies can attract a broad range of buyers and open more doors for profitable transactions.

I like the idea of one day being able to invest in more "favorable" markets based on the current economy, job growth, local trends etc. 

We need inflation to trend down, but so far signals are “mixed. ” Counterintuitively, it seems wage growth has begun to outpace inflation growth, for much of the last 12 months (or has inflation merely seeped into wages?).

I'm optimistic that Air Force base upgrades (North) and the Trinity hospital development (South) will create a positive growth trend over the course of the next 5+ years. 

The one where you break even you might actually spend more money if it is in rough shape, high vacancy, etc.For example let's say property A is new construction in a stellar area.

This trend suggests a growing rental market as more people are unable to afford buying homes under current economic conditions.while the housing market may face challenges, the rental market will likely expand as an alternative for those priced out of buying homes.

Lots of variables, but I think out of the two Columbus would be more of a growing stable housing market given the demographic trends, job market and local regulations. 

Owing to the trend towards smaller,  more efficient appliances and LED lighting  electrical loads I think are somewhat less than they may have been per SF like in the 70's through 2000's when everybody had incandescent lighting and big tube TVs and refrigerators, dishwashers,  etc. that used 2 or 3x as much power as modern ones.I've had a couple turn-of-century units rewired to remove K&T and failed 'BX" (flexible steel sheathed  2 wire cable)  and agree with other posters the pricing isn't that bad as long as you can find an electrician that has some experience with that kind of work,   and sometimes it might be helpful to open up some cable routes ahead of time for them to use so they don't have to do the exploratory work.
