One was on the same street as another that I own and the other was in a city that I had spent a lot of time and seriously considered moving to. 

This list is just one of many data points that can help identify areas.This is a 500 ft view, you still have to drill down into neighborhoods, streets and specific houses that will work well as a STR or Vacation rental (not just an airbnb).I look for higher end vacation rental properties above and beyond what people call airbnb's.A room in someone's house can be an "airbnb" after all.I love the new Vrbo commercial with Nick Saban.

Your neighbor across the street has a 6 car garage and mansion on the waterfront, and you are taking bottom end renters.Too bad you could not figure out a way to get more rent for it.

Personally, I've seen tenants granted a continued occupancy/renewal of their lease for the following:(1) threatening other tenants/neighbors with physical harm(2) dealing drugs out of the apartment with children residing in the same building(3) discharging a firearm on the premises(4) refusing entry to the landlord/his agent for necessary repairsAnd I am sure there are many other examples of bad behavior that the property owner is powerless to react to.
