I have a property in mind, located in Houston TX that's yields a good profit.

What location would you be looking at then?

Youd do well to pick a geographical market that you are working (your "farm") and systematically driving the communities and get to know every street by driving in your car first, noting where the problem activities are, etc.Then define what a "deal" would need to be for another buyer or for you to use your money and keep.

Buy at a great price + location + good numbersRentals don't have to be rocket science.Figure rental rate based on like kind rented properties near by.Subtract: taxes, insurance, repair % (7.5%, but varies based on prop condition), vacancy (2 months), capex (5%, but varies based on prop condition/age), pm if using (8-10%).

I'm looking at a deal that is in an A or maybe even A+ area, and wonder if it needs to be stressed to a greater degree than the usual C class deals, or stressed less because its such a good location.  

The house is located in Phoenix metro.  

It depends on where your location is, in downtown LA, you can't build anything under 150/sf.

The reason I chose that location is that I have friends and family who live out there and I wouldn't mind flying out there a couple of times a year to do some work/visiting.
