The cost of renting a nice SFH on a well kept street didn't seem to vary much across Tacoma (note, this is for comparable SFHs and excludes the new apartments along the waterfront), so I chose to rent in the North End.

Hood and downtown, plus a 600 square feet budget finished basement with full bath - basement not currently legal living space.Located in SW Portland on Marquam Hill between Barbur and Terwilliger, just 1 mile south of downtown, walking distance to OHSU and 1 block to the bus line.It was built on 1908, and is a unique old PDX situation in that there is no street running in front of the house (the original street was vacated when Barbur Blvd was put in).

I've worked with 5 different turnkey providers now (I have or have had some other properties as well) and have to say that who you work with and the feet on the street are really the most important.

The right one will stand out like they are on fire, at night, in the middle of the street, doing cartwheels.

Someone who has no fiscal interest in the transaction saying "yikes, THAT street?" 

I have already done a few small things like increased off-street parking, which is big for a house with 5 likely drivers. 

Hi Ginger,Like the people above said it really depends on which street in Linden Heights you are buying.

This project is near its completion and should open up in late 2018.Water Street Project: This is a public project that will help to connect many of Tampa’s attractions and facilities together via walking paths, 13 acres of public park, gathering areas, and other outdoor infrastructure.

I have a property near downtown on Albion Street that is a tear down, but zoned RS5.

This thread reminds me of the importance of street smarts (Ten Crack Commandments) as an investor.
