I believe this town has a ton of potential even though it has a pretty bad image.

(the 4th is 5 hrs away from other 3)In between signing the contract and receiving the policies in the mail (before I knew about the change to the deductible), a hail storm occurred in the town where two of the properties are located.I met with the agent to ask about the deductible change.

What area of town is this one in Matt? 

I want to get into student rentals around my college town, and hope to purchase/put a down payment on a property near campus before the school year starts (SEPT).

Lots of hard money available in this town. 

Newport is a great town, but a very unique market.The desirable parts of Newport can be expensive, and are generally above the max VA loan amount.

I met with three when I was in town a few months ago.

I think on your next one I would look around for a few items that would look like higher finishes.And while you are in a tough area of town, I am somewhat surprised you aren't able to sell it. 

Maybe in a rougher area in your town that is improving.
