@Adam Kuszczak most major metro cities will follow the same pattern...the "inner city" will be largely original housing stock...late 1800s to mid 1900's...developments typical radiate from the city center with age...so, 1950's through 1980's built properties are usually 3-5 miles from city center with the newest concentration of properties outside of interstate bypasses (usually forming a circle or partial circle around metro areas)...there is infill building and exceptions to these rules, but property age will be your #1 determining factor of where the properties you are targeting will be located.Building materials and methods of construction (along with codes) were very different from one decade to the next, but homes are surprisingly sturdy and most anything can be fixed.

Roof/hvac ageWeather conditions/damage/snow removal/landscaping/salt waterSiding/roof materials (cedar vs stucco, asphalt or rolled versus tile.)Landlord/tenant friendly state  And, as you pointed out, property price. you want to lose money?

I think the most common place we see this is in the kitchen and baths with expensive countertops, over done tile showers and tile work in general. 

. #3 floor tile throughout the house (#3 is one of the best rated)2. 

If anyone needs any basic advice on electrical, tiling, drywall, moulding and work of that nature I would be happy to help as my abilities allow. 

I have one who started as a cleaner but is capable of cleaning, painting, caulking, tiling, light electrical and plumbing.

There are $1/psf floor tiles and $50/psf floor tiles.  

You wait until they establish a pattern of responsibility (paying rent on time) of at least 8 months before you give them a break...and only one break...and you let them know that this is the only time this will happen. 

Seeing the development taking place within the city of Lake Elsinore and noticing a pattern of big money investors closing in on mult family zoned land in the historic district How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

THe place is well done, newer cabinets, tile floors, block construction, dual pane windows, etc.
