Also, Is there 1 thing that you would tell yourself day one on how to attract those buyers to you?

I have a rental property in Long Beach that attracts this type of homeless behavior.

Guys like this can get unpredictable posturing in front of attractive women.

I did my own research, took the plunge, learned by trial, made mistakes and along the way attracted a fantastic realtor @Marcus Auerbach, PM, contractors, banks which was a game changer.

But can anyone convince me that putting a little extra effort in the design can be worth it in long-term rentals?

Purchase price at max would be $140,000, I need to put in zero money in rehab but will more than likely put in about 10K to attract some more tenants. 

I understand Socal does not have much opportunity for me now.I'm getting ready for more attractive appreciation plays in the next few years. 

The prices in places like New Hartford, Canton, Avon, Burlington etc are much higher because they have better schools and probably attract a much higher rent and possibly a better tenant.

Just improve as what is average for that area.Are there any nearby amenities and what the nearby retail development attract, if any.Are there any needed repairs, renovation, or capital expenses?

It's attractive for finding good tenants immediately, but often the price point and the HOA make it barely profitable.
