@Sharad M.Thanks for your contributions but the text was not in isolation....it specifically calls out the context of the cheapness with respect to the neighborhood...cheap is good only if it makes sense.

This is because if it only had 1 death in a 3 block radius, that could easily be an isolated incident and not a real cause of the daily life and culture of the street. 

My guess is that the house needs some repair and is isolated enough from the city not to attract interest.

I don't see any evidence that they have isolated "vacant" properties...P.S.

Hawaii can sometimes feel like a desert island in terms of isolation from things going on in the mainland so the recommendations can help the island fever.

I also had a couple of shell ones set up just in case I needed to shift one property into one to isolate it.I didnt show my trust docs at closing, they were in a filing cabinet in my office.In order to get the beneficial interest info from someone that didnt want to give it, they'd have to depose the trustee and in order to do that they'd have to serve them.

The beauty of real estate investing is there is no one-size fits all for any investing discipline, simply isolate your goals and find the investment vehicle that is going to provide you the returns and lifestyle investment (time) for you to achieve those goals. 

@Steve FitzgeraldTrusts provide anonymity and the LLC a corporate veil that can isolate assets from other assets so one catastrophe can't take down the empire. 

I charge the same price on to manage these that I do on single family rentals, but yes every tenant is on their own lease.However I really only isolate that to a few communities. 

Hello Alexander,In most cases those items have low contributory value to the property's total value and they are difficult to isolate when using sales comparison approach.
