Tenant population that u are comfortable with.PRICING: did u buy at the right price? 

That is to say, even if you live in Hicksville or Ballygobackwards it is possible to do great deals locally, it just takes a commitment and I'm specifically referring to continental USA which is a truly unique and wondrous property market.Not only this, but the more rural areas seem to deliver the more consistently profitable opportunities with much less competition whereas the trending and higher population centers are much more expensive with very competitive margins and therefore a higher risk. 

Densely populated with duplexes , apartments, narrow streets and bad parking situation.

@Jay Hinrichs you are obviously correct that many millionaires have been created in high appreciation markets but given the situation today where many higher appreciation markets have had large run-ups, are very expensive from an absolute dollar perspective and from a price to income basis (both rent to price and in terms of income of the population), would you still invest in those markets?

Across the board, Owings Mills beats Baltimore on unemployment (5.6% vs 7.8%), projected job growth (35.8% vs 33.6%), population growth  (+53.2% vs -3.6%), vacancy rates (6.7% vs. 18.8%), and percentage of renters (51% vs 41%).

WV has several areas that are promising for investment - but pay attention to demographics and population/migration patterns for an area. 

North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Indianapolis, Phoenix, and Las Vegas seem like they are recovering but not sure they have the same demand for construction with the booming population in Colorado. 

It seems like around Oak Harbor with its population and Navy base would be good for keeping rental units more filled than vacant. 

Im curious because USD is stronger against alot of currencies and populating upcoming cities like Shanghai is a huge opportunity.

Besides, the town has been dying a slow death for decades, and continues it's decline - that's why taxes are so high - 30% of the population has moved, yet the city Goverrnment continues to grow - you do the math.
