What is the long term outlook for employment and population?

Good professionals usually know other good professionals.3) Your location combined with your marketing is everything.

I can't think of any pros other than not many people are targeting them (that I know of...)Cons: More likely to have solid financials, which makes them less likely to need you to "rescue" themMore likely to be professional & educatedMore likely to come from a family with decent connections (lawyer, realtor, investment advisor, etc)More likely the property is in a trust because the family intends to keep it.Personally, I scrub my probate & expired lists of trusts and LLC-owned properties.

If you are not represented I would suggest the help of an attorney or other real estate professional.

@Eric Matuszewski one of your best investments is professional organizations for landlords and real estate investors so you can network and learn from others in your area.

I'm just at my wits end trying to remain professional LOL 

What happens if you give the code to a professional vagrant who just moves in and refuses to leave?

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

There are tons of realtor opportunities in Boston showing rental units to young professionals and students.

The area is attractive to young professionals, and I always knew that I'd be renting out the property when the time came to move on.
