If you want good tenants and peace of mind, I recommend looking for Class A or B properties as these usually attracts quality tenants.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

You could be in an expensive market, like LA, but you inherited a property or you got a killer wholesale deal or subject to and the numbers could be very attractive compared to buying off the MLS for full market price in the same market.

The allure of fat cash flow (at least on paper) and the low barrier of entry (down payment) never stop attracting new investors. 

These markets tend to attract a lot of investor activity, which can drive prices up, leading local homeowners to take on more debt to afford homes in their area."

This often attracts broke tenants you will have to soon evict.

There are indeed many tempting short-term investment opportunities in the market that look very attractive numerically, but their potential risks can easily lead to pitfalls.

Is 10% ($1,750) per month in simple, taxable, spendable interest very attractive after owning real estate that likely did not generate that kind of cash flow? 

This can make your offer more attractive.

I dont screen but to be fair our properties dont attract parties.
