There is nothing wrong with being cheap, price conscious, budget friendly or the most popular term "reasonable" or  whatever you want to call it. 

Depending on how dollar conscious you are I'd suggest looking into living in the Wagoner County section of Broken Arrow as well.  

Same reason I wouldn't buy stock in a company who historically contributes to environmental degradation (won't name any names). 

And since it's solar: your property's appeal to the environmentally-friendly crowd goes way up.

I've called the buildings safety engineering and environmental department in Detroit and asked them a few questions about how long I would have before the house itself would be demolished.

Generally the biggest cons to these are environmental impacts and restricted uses following the gas station leaving or going dark. 

Working with environmental contamination or complex title issues are examples that come to mind. 

I'd be cautious about excluding pets if you're concerned about vacancy.C) While much better tenants (very little wear and tear on your property, good for rent, pass background checks), there is a need for many STR amenities (security conscious with parking spaces and the home, have nice bed/sheets/cooking supplies/coffee maker, high speed internet a plus - having great TV wasn't a deal breaker for those we surveyed)D) Mixed input on the proximity. 

Now I can let it go with a clear conscious.

Make sure to thoroughly research the property and its surrounding area, including any legal, zoning, and environmental issues, to ensure that you make an informed decision.Financing options: Explore all financing options available to you, including traditional loans, seller financing, and alternative financing methods like hard money loans.Partnering with others: Consider partnering with an experienced real estate investor or property manager if you're not confident in your own ability to manage a property.Mentorship: Seek out a mentor who has experience in the real estate industry and can guide you through the process.Get hands-on experience: Finally, consider starting small and gain hands-on experience by fixing and flipping a property or working with a real estate investment club before committing to a larger investment.Remember, real estate investing can be a long-term commitment, so take your time and make sure you're fully prepared before jumping into it.
