You could have bought a gem or bought a dog. 

All of this is of course speculative and you absolutely could have tenants in South Dallas that rent for years at above market rent and treat your rental house like an absolute gem - I'm just speaking in general. 

Once I know what those cash investors are looking for, I could actively seek out those type of properties as well as come across other gems.  :-)  One step at a time!

With 100 years water had plenty of time to flow all around and under the house, micro streams and variations is water retention in different soils will cause uneven settling.All in all you may have a real gem that just needs some love.  

Nice gem on the opposite side of the river.

@Giovanni Luna There is a large military population here.

Did most research on Zillow, and looked at a few dozen properties before finding this gem-to-be.

I'm on Indeed right now, however just checking to see where the hidden gems are! 

You will also gain about 5.7% annual return from principal pay down, but you will not realize this profit until you exit the property.If there is potential for value add and room for rent increase, this could be a gem.

Did we miss the boat, or is finding a gem that we can cashflow still possible?
