We had to evict one and the second didn't pay rent for a year.I switched over to GK Houses which is now Evernest and compared to Zeker, the experience has been quite positive so far.

Highlight nearby conveniences and any neighborhood growth to attract interest.Focus on framing the size as a bonus that buyers get more space and value for their money compared to smaller homes.

Double the maintenance and capex on a 40's built home as compared to a 2010 build home and then let me know if it cashflows that much better. 

It's likely, you are being too tight on your comparables or not searching correctly.

For example, South Cape has larger tourist destinations such as Cape Harbour, the downtown area, Yacht Club, Marina Village, etc, where there's really nothing comparable to any of those districts in the Burnt Store area.

Ask anyone who ever tried to sell a cash flowing biz, it's not that easy (compared to selling a house)The best play IMO is to run a business and feed the profits into real estate.There are a million ideas, but you can start here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/biggerpockets-business-podcast Thanks for the suggestion Marcus. 

@Manjari Pandey noted.Yes agree the reservations for April have slowed compared to last year.

The one percent and 2 percent rule ive never looked at ... cap rate is .. meh .. its there - what im most concerned with is the price of the home relative to comparables and cash on cash to start.   9)  I look  the other way if it is a multi unit that is not separately metered - thats always one of my criteria here in pgh as there are a lot of older homes and a good portion you wind up worrying about who will cover utilities.  

I would factor more vacancy as you might get more turnover compared to other suburbs. 

Also, price-wise, a 4 or 4+ unit property in Killeen appears to be less expensive than a comparable one in DFW.
