We took our time and bought one that didn't need a ton of ongoing work: it's brick, on a slab (no basement), and is only about 30 years old, vs the 80yo duplexes on the same street.

Two other homes, same as hers, sold for 285K/275K near her street.

Things such as crime rate, how many rentals, average rent, school district quality, unemployment rate, are people moving to the neighborhood or leaving, do property owners in the neighborhood keep up their properties, etc.A good place to start for some of the information that you can't get by just driving the streets is www.city-data.com.

i just spent 1500 for new electric service to run from the street to my panel on one of my other rentals but that didnt include running wires from the panel throughout the house.im expecting 3k for entire electric work on this one.

My title lady gets free lunch from the deli across the street every time I close.

But as others have mentioned I would be qualifying him and and he would have to  prove to me that he wasn't a waste of my time and effort before I would accept him, it is always a two way street with a good agent.

If you know the street name, and if you have online look-up for your tax assessor, usually you can search on a street and then sort by address.

They were rushed due a "Coastal Building Moratorium" San Diego has that I was led to believe wouldn't allow me to put a crane in the street between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Rent $900 to $1100The catch is the house is on a busy street and across the street from a strip joint!
