More often than not the right path is the path of least resistance (for the investor).  

But not sure if tenant would resist and force a prolonged eviction process.  

Couldn't resist, lol  

I just sold a building in Westchester for $82,500 per unit and the building is a shell that needs electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, drywall and fire resistant stairs. 

I've not and am not buying now because I'm traveling, but I've heard about the town's growth on and off for a few years as well as Goodnight's backing of Chatham Park, a major project which it seems the locals resist because it will turn a small town into a bigger one. 

Corporates are definitely the path of most resistance.

Pex plumbing is very resistant to bursting as well.Rehabs still happen in the winter, but you won't generally be out painting the exterior.

  - Lastly, we all hit resistance in this buisness.

They make pet resistant screen material that you can buy in bulk.

Both of these markets seem very attractive and especially resistant to overall economic downturns.
