Any main industries providing consistent employment for tenants and attracting folks off the west coast? 

On the flip side, you're going to have to ask yourself if you have any attractive alternates in which to invest your money and, preferably, are you willing to live in the in the new investment (i.e. house hack a multi-family property) or significant downgrade your standard of living accommodation.

@Ashley WolfeWe have our cleaning lady take care of everything as a flat fee 60 dollars, and tenants self checkin with lockbox We habe two onsite one as emergency and one that gets changed after every tenant.

List all apartment amenities, possible local attractions/neighborhood features and what is included in the rent/not included. 

Also.. with any luck, local meetings will have people doing actual investing around the area and hopefully can give you documents that have been used in that area, or if you notice there are no active meetings around you, you could always start one and see who it attracts.

Rehab the kitchen and whatever else to make it a more attractive rental and then refinance or get a HELOC to pull the money back out for a down payment on a new house?

Clearly it has become known as a growing city that is attracting a young, college-grad crowd - but do you think it has peaked?

Has any marketing been done to try and attract more people?

I'm wondering what other strategies on top of aggressive pricing others are having success with when it comes to attracting buyers to your resale listing and away from new construction.One thought that I have had is to add a BTSA for the buyer's agent.

Lights may just be a couple to give better lighting in the kitchen or in the bathroom for better light when a lady puts on make up each day.
