But, for the best potential tenant pool, I would suggest looking to invest in neighborhoods in close proximity to hospitals, colleges, local markets, easy commute, provide sense of safety etc.

I wish you the best of luck and safety in the storm.

They prioritize in their mind safety over yield.

Increasing your construction budget by a small amount can have an enormous impact on your overall construction budget, productivity and site safety/insurance premiums.

@Kamryn DeVaultTo invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling.

That's safety in numbers. 

At a very base level, make sure the property is up to health and safety codes for your location. 

-> We reject 95% of the deals we analyze -> Most don't meet our strict criteria-> for safety and returns.If you've been considering diversifying into real estate but aren't sure where to start, let's connect.

Having said that, there is no problem having SMART compassion and taking safety measures (15 months rent in an escrow account). 

A lot of other markets 20 years from now could be ghost towns with little demand.But on the flipside, that safety/security comes with lessor immediate returns, as is a normal balance with investments (more risk traditionally equals more short term gain potential).
