It is also against regs to collect first/last and security.

So, to rank them best to worst:1) 3-4 bedroom property in your neighborhood you can buy in distressed shape and fix up yourself2) 3-4 bedroom property in a decent neighborhood within 20 min drive, or 2 bedroom close to you 3) 2 bedroom in a decent neighborhood within 20 min drive4) Condo5) Property in a high-crime area where you would not want to live, or drive to do maintenance/collect rentIf you plan to use property managers to deal with the tenants and contractors for the work, the situation will be different.

@Colin Johnson, I am looking into this as a strategy as well but am data collecting and analyzing at the moment. 

@Nathan @Nathan Hughes I think that a collection of these post is what you need to look at.

So far I have collected 3 months rent from my inherited tenant.

Managing tenants - screening, interviewing, discussing rent collections, etc.3. 

I asked her to sign an agreement of early termination and paid all the remaining balance minus deposit by 3/31/2020 or I will reach out to collection company. 

The seller claims to have only collected rent each month and has no knowledge of the number of tenants occupying the units.
