The property is located in Cleveland Heights.

You are likely to appreciate, but you never know what will happen with the area as a short-term location so your hedge is on cash flow and maybe slower appreciation than regular single-family residential homes.

Firstly, regarding the location, I understand that exact location details can be helpful for some investors, but it's my personal preference to keep that information private for now.

I would get rid of that immediately.Second, I would ensure your rules are clear, in writing, attached to the lease, and posted in locations where the occupants can't possibly miss them.

I just can't seem to locate that bank.

Very up and coming city located about 30 miles south of Nashville.

I can say I've moved to STL about 5 yrs ago and I was at the gym right by the McDonalds/ Lindell Blvd area you're talking about and I feel safe and have not run into any issues there.St Louis is street by street - it really depends.You'll be able to rent it fast there due to it's location, I'm certain.

I am located in south east Texas.

Would like to do cctv to back it up but not sure about physical location of box.thanks in advance

Knowing that someone who can afford a $500k house, can often also afford a $600k or even $700k, house, and will want more of everything (better location, bigger house, better finishes, etc).As for number 1, not even just paying it all up front, but working with any contractor that wants "percentage" draws.  1/3 up front, 1/3 half way done, 1/3 at completion.
