Would suggest meeting somewhere close to good public transportation options.

@John McConnell - I never thought about people PCSing from overseas - transportation is a good point.

To dig deeper into that concept I look for at least 3-5 selling points for why  I like the location which can be for different reasons such as....being Close to a good school/ close to desirable locations such as shopping, sports arenas/Beautiful trees/ near transportation/ near hospital.  

Hello Dante,As we research a potential area we normally assess employment opportunities, public transportation, and shopping convenience. 

Hauling off debris may require permits, to obtain those permits the transport may need licensed haulers.

It sits on 2 major transportation arteries, with a river along one side, not to mention a university in the middle of it.  

It's near a rough area but this is definitely a better part as it is a couple minutes from public transportation train (Greenville part of Jersey City for those who are familiar).

I also schedule pick-up of the mailers when I'm working with sellers with transportation or scheduling challenges.While using escrow instructions in CA is common, I don't recommend it.

The area for the 1st property is best suited for tenants having a vehicle although, transportation is available.The cap rate on both would say "walk away" though!

I currently work as an Accounts Manager for a Transportation company and I have a daughter, who is very active in sports, which keeps me busy.
