Look for a location with low crime, then look for the neighborhoods with the best schools.

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

If it's a deal that is in a very very desirable location and has tons of built in equity and appreciation, I would be totally good with negative cash flow for Y1 and Y2.

The sellers had put so much pots, plants, planters and shrubs out that I thought there were too many plants/planters that would require a new owner to upkeep.After a few potential buyer tours/showings, the owner heard all the comments (via the security cameras) about how there was a "lot going on with the plants and stuff out front".

With the future being so uncertain I realized there was a need to do more than just rely on my job for financial security. 

This is located in the rental real estate publication by the IRS.

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

I like that you can setup different virtual accounts for security deposit let's say, or to separately ledger cash collected through a rent to own contract.
