I am worried that I will have to get rid of bamboo which is one of the most attractive features of this house.

To me, if one were to find a good building template that was different then the run of the mill, you could build cheaper and attract more buyers that want something that's not majority.

Start to share your knowledge and insight with others on here and at meetings and you will attract someone who needs what your good at.

On the other hand, if you have a really nice house in a really nice neighborhood at a good rent price, then you might also attract better tenants.

@Eduardo Mardini i can see why that may not be the most attractive thing to your wife.

My questions: 1) In 2019, should I be concerned about my ability to attract good tenants without having central air in a SLC duplex built in the 1950s?

Around us there are several properties listed with "currently rented" rates that make the deal very attractive from a monthly income point of view, but you don't know what you don't know.

However, a well thought-out JV is very attractive to me.

In addition, your ability to attract a decent quality tenant will be significantly diminished versus a SFR in a good neighborhood.When going from SFR to MF, there is a tradeoff you're making. 

What features are attractive to you?
