I Am attracted to low crime areas, better schools, and newer construction if you are looking for a low involvement investment, especially for a first property.

The ability to leverage your 100k over multiple projects makes it more attractive for additional RE income and also long-term appreciation.

No one abuses them/has friends over to do laundry like a free w/d would attract.

The property will be obvious more attractive without additional fee charged to tenants.

As for rentals, speaking in generalities, the apartments and rentals will attract a better tenant in my experience, the schools tend to rank higher, but prices in general are higher as well.

The lady that owns the house had not been out to look at the property in years and was unaware how trashed it had become.

And my personal opinion is that the central part of the state will remain more attractive even though our hurricanes do still pass through because when those suckers hit the central spine they act more like regular bad weather in the North.  

The deal seems pretty attractive, and the seller appears very motivated to make a sale.  

Background- I had a lady call me wanting to get a offer so I went to scope it out, she is having a home built and will be moving into it around October/November.

Bad tenants will attract bad tenants or scare good tenants away.
