Not worth buying.As @Brian Adams and @Percy N. suggest, this is a relationship driven business grounded in best practices of thinking about the long game instead of a short term transaction mind set. 

If you're looking for appreciation, the two strongest influences on demand (and appreciation) are population and job growth, so monitor those.If you're looking at which markets are volatile, that is impacted by many variables... population growth, job growth, job/industry diversity, local politics/regulation, development etc...Example: San Antonio's economy and job market is really driven mostly by health care and aerospace. 

This isn't "data-driven insight" but I see a lot of people on BP seeking out their first property in the rust-belt because of cash-flow and low-entry-cost.  

@Amy A. I

-Will bring on headache/stress/discouragement-Potential for bad tenants at lower rent rates-Not in a prime growth areaI am not opposed to this property, so please do not assume that all the negatives associated with property B are me trying to justify that property A is better.

@Preston Roth  Are you sure that you that the reason for the increase in insurance is purely driven by the knob and tube wiring?  

@Jon Lee I figured I would have to buy my 1st property all cash because A: I didn't want to get a conventional loan for my 1st property and B: I've learned an investor would be quicker to invest in what you're already doing as opposed to what you're trying to do.

We are always looking for driven team players.
