It is normally the real estate that attracts the nuisance tenants which leads some to resort to section 8 believing its a cure all which is the furthest from reality.  

Once that's covered, you can go all-in on those fabulous renovations.Effective marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting tenants and increasing property appeal.

This being my first go at this, I'm curious about that building the exit value/attractiveness? 

@Kyle Carter just because a building has all section 8 tenants doesn’t necessarily mean that the cap rate will be higher on exit but it might attract a buyer(s) that are focused cashflow and not appreciation; therefore a lower price to juice the yield.One of my non negotiables if I were you would be to only buy in an area that is desirable.  

These updates made the property highly attractive to tenants.

Nothing attracts buyer leads like houses for sale.

The exterior got a fresh coat of paint, and I added modern fixtures inside to attract buyers.

I remember after the GFC reno planners wanted to attract more regular businesses and get away from gaming.Great thread, thanks 

so just because you would not want to live in a specific town for various reasons does not mean they aren't attractive to others and good investment opportunities.
