I just needed a little confidence boost, a few words of advice and I am back on my way.  

I think areas of high development Jobs , increased transportation, school systems are a great place to start as there will be increased demand for those properties as far as the property appraising for double that in a yr or 2 I don't know but it's possible with some rehabbing in a great area  boost curb appeal update kitchen add value

One more option that will reduce monthly expenses, and boost your rent a bit too is to buy a new home.

(I was present in the January session for a presentation by Katrina Korfman - professor at Rochester University and one of the founders of the Rochester lead program - She stated that program was successful as it "made it economically, politically, and morally unacceptable to tolerate lead exposure to our children" )In 2019 I finished my broker's license and opened LaPlante Real Estate, a full service brokerage specializing in property management.
