Personally, I've been investing more than 50 years and never looked at the demographics for a neighborhood one time because I always felt that you need more personal knowledge about the neighborhood e.g. whether it is blue-collar working people, whether it infested with gangbangers, what the ability to increase rents is, etc. and the only way to get a good feeling and understanding is to personally visit the neighborhoods in the daytime, evenings and on weekends because weekends and nighttime is when the bad people come out like cockroaches.

So without my knowledge, I bought a turnkey property with a tenant that wasn't paying (never paid), I had to evict them (pay for the eviction), I had to pay for the turnover cost which was thousands of dollars, and I've been lied to by at least the property manager that came with property within 2 months of signing on the property (August).So I got everything fixed, the PM wanted to get the property rent ready.

I personally feel about 90% of the market is due for a major correction but I agree that these have a great chance of being at the forefront of that correction.

Beware of bedbugs getting on your clothes and you transferring them back to your own home- if you wear a haz mat type suit the renters will feel like something is wrong and feel very uncomfortable- but in some heavily infested situations it might be called for.

I suggest using their service as well so they don’t feel used at least for a project.
