@Abel Eskinder since you're out of the country, you'll probably want to give some thought to our copy & paste info below:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Ice broken.

Don't expect to be liked and don't try to be liked.

Not sure how many doors you have, but when you get to your 5th broken ice maker you realize the math just doesn’t make sense.

Both of my houses cash flow close to $2000 per month after all expenses when fully occupied, however you do get some of the occasional chaos you would expect from such a venture. 

Can I expect more development / gentrification to occur in this area?
