Tons of jobs and growth which allow for better tenant selection, low crime/safe, etc.

Are you looking for a job so you can make income now?

🏡 MASSIVE transformation coming near downtown…🏙️With one of the last areas to develop near downtown, the neighborhood just south of Empower Field will get a massive upgrade 🏟️The stadium district master plan is only 10% done, but will include a mixture of housing options, jobs, game day/special event experiences, and more.When this 58 acre space is developed, it will re-shape the landscape of downtown once again…

Tenant also does a good job keeping the place inside clean.3.

I personally look at job growth, appreciation, and overall return on investment projections.

There are many times the architect/engineer gets busy doing other jobs and forgets your plans at the city or delays picking them up/making corrections 4.

The answer is both and neither, all depending on what you're trying to do and which tool is best to complete that job. 

Then a nice flat lot.  

@Patricia Andriolo-Bull you seem to be too nice which is making this harder than it has to be.  

With your VA loan as @Johnny Lynum says, you could get a nice property for little down.
