More original charm and features allow for a higher rent.  

I have found a lot of people like the older homes with their charm.

It's one of those places that can look very "homey" and charming, but can easily take a turn for the worse.

I think it's because   they know these areas and believe that  if your intention is to mind your own business you can live a peacable life.In my experience these tenants expect to be dealing with a slumlord so the charm that was exhibited when they were applying for the house soon wears off.

Remember, 29th time's a charm.

But the first step, like getting rid of bad debt, is getting rid of poisonous ideas.The typical school suppresses ideas.

And you in the peanut gallery- I know, there are interest-only mortgages, but most investors don't use them.)So in summary, and apologies for the extremely long post, I just got rolling and couldn't help myself, real estate enhances the best in investors by inhibiting panic selling during kerfuffles of one sort or another, and suppresses the worst in us, which is our unwillingness to save money on a regular basis.

By central I mean cities like Hue, Lang Co, Da Nang, and Hoi An :) Yes, Hoi An is a charming city with a lot of history and ancient architecture. 

Looked at her this morning, charming, great neighborhood; however, single pane windows, incredibly small dining/living room in the 2/1 unit we would occupy, some knob and tube wiring, and a questionable foundation made it a solid pass.  

The other was a smoker who accidentally set her own sofa on fire. that one has an installed fire suppression system so her's was the only unit damaged and she agreed to reimburse us the damages (over time of course).
