For a property that is not within walking distance to the beach--how far away from the beach will still attract tenants?

Howard Beach has pretty attractive yields and is close to the airport. 

Refinery ruffians are attracted to my places. 

When I asked her about it, she mentioned that the rate is higher specifically because it "will be an income-producing property." 

Almost 4 years ago I've transition from years of producing and working in video production to rehabbing and developing real estate. 

Or conversely, cheap rent will bring out the poor applicants in droves and those tend to have many personal problems.Wow, but yea it does makes sense...higher quality houses and expensive rent attracts higher quality tenants. 

The main point is to capitalize on your appreciation and buy/hold income producing assets.

yes, its declining in all educated areas. but housing costs will continue to go up. in our Multifamily rentals, we will be upgrading everyone's living standards to assure we have upper-income earners as tenants, will be adding separate Electic Vehicles charging and 1st $100 of electricity for free included in the rent with Solar panels offsetting the cost producing the electric we sell to tenants. also adding Smart building ready FOG network for security and looking at new Smart Toilets the five-star hotels have been installing.

Depending on location and interior/curb appeal it may also attract higher quality tenants.

@Rick Pozos Yes it is fairly close to downtown, and we are attracting people coming for that at this point.
