I've had two occasions where the reference they listed told me not to rent to them because they were violent, late payers, or too needy.Not doing a criminal, credit, background check, which might have revealed criminal or credit problemsBeing slow to evict (mentioned by others)Believing their sob storiesAccepting partial paymentsFailing to document every conversation or interactionNot walking through the property to make sure they're taking care of it (I now walk through every 9 months so I can see problems in different seasons)We've found crack pipes and other paraphernalia after they moved outWe've discovered piles and piles of trash (some bagged, some not) in closets, basements, sheds when trash cans and pickup service are included in their rent - all they had to do was carry it out, at no cost to themWe've Found smokers, pets, extra peopleOverall, I've had great success as a property investor. 

Meanwhile she is paying a lot of money in utilities for an ancient heating and cooling system, the floors in her cabinets have nearly rotted out, and the shed outside has what appears to be only particle board for siding.  

@Leslie Pappas thank you for shedding some light from a investment advisor POV.

Have you examined the entire perimeter, behind bushes and sheds too?

My going-in cap. rate will however be higher than what the buyer on my downleg property will yield at the purchase price, which I guess sheds insight into why I'm selling - I want to protect my appreciation and the sale price is motivating.

I’ve been researching the overall economics of most cities there and was wondering if you could shed some light on the market given you’re an agent there.

ads usually say something about the property being turnkey and that it already have tenants and about the shed that can be turned into a 1\1.That pic is from my walk through. included in the 3000 is the siding around the window, the boarder around the end of the roof, and dry walling in 2 rooms.

could anyone please shed some light on this for me?  

Im pretty sure someone who has been doing it for a while can shed more light on it for both of us but your explanation wasn't confusing at all.

Metal shed types can be had even cheaper.
