I've also seen bad, junker-home areas get trendy and appreciate to the point that C and B class tenants can't afford the neighborhood anymore and junker homes get rehabbed, added on to, and knocked down for new construction, with the junker home investor reaping the rewards.Bottom line, I don't think appreciation is a valid point of differentiation between nice and junker rental homes.

In fact, it's especially trendy amongst lawyers that write consumer contracts since most states have laws that require consumer contracts to be "easier" to understand. 2.

Crime rate looks manageable, which is more relevant if this will be a rental and less so (but still important) if this will be a flip.Population trend is disappointing, unfortunately- negative 1.2% since 2000, much less than I'd expect for a city that close to Philly. 

But granite is extremely durable and practical, unlike Corian or other trendy surfaces.

so based on the other BNBs that have a lot of bookings  in the area the inside should be unique and trendy and fairly upscale@Ethan Cooke-thanks Ethan, I like the efficiency/creativity of the model you have.  

Growing up and still to this day they live paycheck to paycheck and I've made it my goal to change this trend. I

Way before it was trendy.
