It is one of the last lots in a neighborhood development finished in 2013.

Four houses in my neighborhood sold from facebook or word of mouth .

Here is the property:  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/545-6th-St_West-Des-Moines_IA_50265_M86748-68205 it's in a nice neighborhood with a school nearby.

It is in a neighborhood of single family and duplexes.

If you can find the one, they could also help you with things like: "that neighborhood doesn't attract the right sort of tenants"; "sorry, I won't manage properties in that area"; "I reckon you could get a better rent return if you choose this other neighborhood" - and such like.

To throw wrench in things, we found out they are building some low income housing a block from our house, which I am not sure what will do to the neighborhood and our ability to rent it for rates we need to maintain cash flow.

After looking at different neighborhoods I have finalized three areas 1.

I'm not really an investor, but do own one single-family house in a great inner east-side neighborhood that was my primary residence - I now rent it out and receive some positive cash flow.  

My price is a little high and the neighborhood is a little rough.

Rough neighborhoods to be in.
