I would study the listings from the top performing rentals in your area to see how they are overcoming any challenges with location.

On top of that if you are able to work.....most can, you are in great shape to buy a property.  

If you want some very broad strokes that are asset class specific, but not location specific.Highest risk and return to lowest risk and return, offices is at the top.

If they pass that smell test and fit our other criteria then it's usually a good fit. 

Living in top unit and renting out the bottom.

Also I would like to recommend these 2 different books to read on top of all the BP podcasts you are already listening to: 1.

While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.

A lot of the top places have seasonality issues so don't let it scare you.

Basically since you have these two assets at your disposal maybe tailoring a couple of investments to fit those assets might be the easiest way to go about it versus looking for a needle in the haystack.Just my 2 Cents.

Once this is determined you can select the best neighborhood and asset that fits your capabilities.
