As a Baltimore investor I'll have to echo @Curt Davis. 60k turn key is exceptionally hard to find if you'd like it to be in good shape.

On the other hand what would be a good sign that although old, it is still in good shape? 

I’ve spent the last few months reading books, analyzing my market, watching trends, creating spreadsheets, mock budgets, estimating financials, doing calculations, designing rooms via SketchUp Pro, networking with suppliers, and vetting hard money lenders.

You are better off making sure your property is in good shape and by purchasing an umbrella policy. 

It obviously depends on the shape of the home. 

Security First does not require a Four Point but they will request verbal confirmation that the home is in good shape.

Look for major market trends and fundamental drivers of growth to make a prediction on where you might see an eventual shift in tenant quality. 

Would there be an opportunity to gain insight into Asheville area market trends and the like?  

Thanks Justin, appreciate the thoughts.So if I was able to give you trends, like movement over the past 3 years or something, is this something that would be more helpful?

With that being said I think we should compose a list of everyone's top books that have shaped them in there business.
