There is even a Centro de Salud (health clinic) for minor health emergencies.

Several years ago, I had tenants who took on a roommate without telling me and they set up a bedroom in the basement next to the boiler.

It's my opinion that Nulu, Butchertown, and Germantown have been on the radar too long to find great deals with ease, but this is only based on hearsay from realtor friends and from being of aware of the rising prices over the last several years.

Looking at several different metrics, the best route becomes much more clear when you’ve defined your current position.

When you are new you won't have any idea what kind of deals you can find until you evaluate at least several in a given market.

I have several rental properties in the Phoenix area.

@Erin Genz nothing trivial about saving taxes - whether one house or several. 

Screening is very fast and complete - I can elect to accept CC and set the convenience fee (I do charge a tad above costs), and I find its pretty easy to reconcile a tenants payment via "serial number" or transaction ID reported to the bank with both Rentec accounting AND quickbooks - albeit Quickbooks is still manual for me (you can export from Rentec to Quickbooks via CSV... havent got that far along yet.We literally just completed several rehabs (meaning LOTS of expense), so seeing rents come in quickly and accurately is a relief for a change!

But I have been a broker/owner of a property management company for several years.I am interested in purchasing, along with other investors, an apartment complex located out of state (out of the state I currently manage/broker in).  

@William Robison  call or meet with several in your area.
