These also require 40% down, whereas A/B class assets like those in garden oaks will probably require 60% down just to break even. 

Its going to be hard to get a tenant to pay for it, or pay for it direct as a landlord with out a separate meter.The preferred course of action is probably turf with a surrounding rock garden. 

That's why I think it's generally a waste to claim to be the handyman, gardener, or something else besides the owner.

Have you never given a holiday gift to your kids teacher, or your mailman, gardener, baby sitter, etc?

If you're willing to go into the City of Wilmington, (not necessarily most people's definitions of good public schools, but there are good private schools in the city that people living in the nicer areas tend to send their kids to) you'll want to look at the Northwest Wilmington, Midtown Brandywine, Little Italy, Union Park Gardens areas.

I’m under contract on a property in Central Phoenix that has a main house and 2 casitas all around a central garden.

I will mention that this same relative owned a 2 bedroom Condo in Carol Gardens just a few blocks away from the Trader Joe's on Atlantic Ave and Court Street.They sold that Condo around 2009 and bought their home in Briarwood for approximately the same price (around $800k).HOWEVER, the Condo is probably worth around $1.3 Million or so and their Briarwood Home may not be worth more than $900k to $1 Million.The appreciation factor is much different.That being said, they moved mainly because they expanded their family (2 kids) and wanted a bigger place than a 2 Bedroom Condo.You can't put a price on having a great space for your family!

And of course I would make sure you give the areas further north a chance as well--Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington and Jupiter are beautiful areas with less of the big city congestion.
