That said, you can expect this property to have problems like: no functioning HVAC, electrical problems, old water heaters, low rent, old appliances, worn carpet/torn linoleum, leaks, etc.Sometimes the rents are not able to be raised for that block, or you may not be able to justify raising them enough for a good return after repairs.  

Stockton is block by block and you're best bet is to drive those blocks. 

If @Shirley Rozenshteyn is right about Glastonbury, maybe buy the worst house on the best block, and by the time you leave the built up equity will help you succeed in you RE goals, instead of renting.
