It was a terrible house but when the agent found out I didn't have my own agent (shoot, I didn't know I needed my own!)

Good city neighborhoods have pretty much zero vacancy rates, but the cash flow is lower than terrible neighborhoods, or the suburbs.  

The second attorney told me that SC is not a terribly litigious state (only one negligence suit in my county in the last 20 years), and, that most tenant claims for damages are settled for some amount well within the landlord's insurance coverage limits.

Disclaimer: I'm aware information on Zillow is not to be trusted, must be verified, is generally incorrect/terrible/evil, etc.Checking out neighborhoods and doing other preliminary research on Zillow, I see a lot of "Pre-Foreclosure" listings.

There are tons of places that will cashflow $100 / unit but are terrible investments.

The work on the property is not terribly extensive and should be completed in 2-3 weeks.  

The place was in terrible shape but I managed to complete a full interior remodel while living there with some help from friends, youtube videos and some paid help.

B class rental) decent- nice area of town, somewhere you can walk around at night and not be afraid, working class tenants (see upper middle-middle class), decent schools.C class rental) somewhere that is usually on the way up or on the way down, solid middle class tenants, safe during the day possibly iffy at night, not a terrible place to live but its definitely not anyones dream home/areaD class rental) warzone, iffy walking alone during the day and definitely not at night, empty properties are likely to be broken into or vandalized, people here are barely making it, quality of schools isn't even a thought. 

Perhaps the renters are terrible or the house is vacant all together?

The seller is not terribly motivated.
