Eastmoor and whitehall are good too because of newer home ages after 1940 where you don't have knob and tube wiring and some of the other issues. don't be afraid to look at new construction or ground up new builds closer to downtown. rentals are overpriced in these areas but build costs are low and it can be a good strategy

One of them hired a landscape guy, well, the landscape guy never came so I was paying $140 per month for nothing for about 7 months.The other property manager didn't tell the tenants they were responsible to replace the ac filter, that bill was $1000 to replace the AC fan motor.I am really afraid of blowing off the money.

However, I'm afraid to scare them off and never getting a chance at those $3,600.

I'm afraid they will squat if I attempt to get them out. 

Don't be afraid to present a low offer, but have a conversation and provide a solid case for why this is a fair offer6.)
