I'm comfortable with the obvious #s (ROI, yield), but my concerns are (1) figuring out whether the house is "on the right side of the tracks," (2) if there are any big ticket purchases (e.g. roof, water heater) that are required or impending, and (3) what the local economic prospects look like.  

Apologies if that’s a dumb question, but have to learn somehow

Hi All, Apologies for the long winded background, but it's needed for my question at the bottom in BOLD. 

My apologies for the confusion.

Don't you already have some bad vibes regarding the impending rental relationship?
