Impossible to generalize like this...Some are families that just want a safe home and neighborhood for their kids.Some are young and just starting out and want whatever they can afford.Some are young and just starting out and want a cheap place so they can move up/out to their own place.Then there was a recent story in the San Diego paper about people who are paying MASSIVE rent for luxury apts with fire pits, dog runs, on site gyms,  decks, grills etc.

While there is some ambiguity regarding every detail and factor that goes into it, there is no such opinions if safety that goes into the classification of a property.A class is typically 10 years old or less, has the most amenities (clubhouse, pool, gym, laundry/dry cleaning service, etc. and located in the best areas.

I was in the back checking out the yard and back deck so when I come walking around to the front (in gym clothes, no less) these cops are ready to slap cuffs on me.

Maybe two basketball courts, laser tag or obstacle course, perhaps a kiddie jungle gym for the young ones.

If someone has a low score because they've had problems with cable/cell phone companies, gym memberships, medical expenses etc. but have always paid rents I'd consider them.

Listen to all of the BP podcasts on your way to work, at the gym, etc and you will start to learn a ton.  

Some quick-fix upgrades that might help include:[list]Offer free Internet acces (e.g. if you're near college; $50/mo)Install in-unit laundry ($600 appliances + $500-$1,000 install)Offer free gym memberships (Planet Fitness is $10/mo)[/list:u]Each of these likely costs less than another month's vacancy and might bring your units up to speed, or ahead of the pack.

Maybe a restaurant or a bar or a club or a gym or anything else your heart wants.

@Jason Scoggins Welcome to BP Jason I actually have a friend that own a GYM close to Gardner.

Time for me to start looking for a local gym!
