It seems you and your husband have the ability to make a property more desirable and I would try to stay local for the same reasons you listed. 

the guy told me they are a sister company of another big firm (forgot the name)  that they wanted to appeal to this new generations  the terms sound very interesting,, where do you think we can fing more info on them?

Agree to allow the firm’s “entry level” attorneys handle your cases or as allowed by law their clerks?

The property will be in more desirable locations that command better rents. 

Also make sure to build on a property located in a desirable location with larger pop density and if holding for rentals, charge median rent for that market as lenders want to see a bigger pool of buyers/renters available to occupy/sell. 

In my experience, there are a range of starting-off experiences, but one's experience is not always indicative of someone's desire/drive/commitment to pursue and thrive in real estate. 

If you buy upscale (desirable) properties in desirable areas as opposed to affordable (undesirable) crapboxes in undesirable areas you won’t need to entice tenants.

They are often located in desirable neighborhoods and are close to good schools.

As long as you are getting your desired amount of cash flow after all of the expense then it should be good.
