Rents are low and prices are high.

BO is ramping up their employment now, my new tenant will be working with HR at the site and will be onboarding lots of folks over the next 2-3 years!

Also, for low value properties, most lenders wont take the risk. 

But I do think that the overall quality is very low compared to the rest of the US.

Thus easy to manage and low Capex expenditures.     10.  

now if you could get a seller to be the bank I get that you could smoke and mirror those deals.. but i would think those would be picked over low value or properties in the worst areas of town etc..   

And like many other cities, vacancy rates are still low, lots of demand for housing of all types.  

When you own a couple of units, the odds of there being unexpected vacancies that overlap each other are usually low, but when you acquire more and more real estate, the odds of tenants moving out around similar times increases. 

For the duplex, would you consider it to be in a high quality (A), medium (B), or low (C) neighborhood?

I'm working with a company who owns a small, 19 unit, senior and low income apartment building.
