I have homes all over the midwest that I rent out for $750/mo and I know that during the recession these homes are not going to drop very far down in rent because they're C class blue collar neighborhoods. 

Examples: New Lally columns and footings in the basement to replace temp. columns, 48 sheets of blue board and plaster in rooms that didn’t need any mechanical work but had bad horse hair plaster.  

I used to do 1 hour, 15 minutes one-way, and what I found is a phone with a blue-tooth headset allowed me to be very productive during that time. 

Looks like hot and cold (blue and red valve knobs on the left side of the manifold.)Can't see it clearly but it the other one may be a pressure guage on a valve.

Sometimes, rent increases out of the blue is not the best strategy.

The colors pink, blue, gray, white just mix just doesn't look right.Terry

So if I do an edit, it lets me tag them, but then they're not "blue" in the edited version.

But with that being said - would you rather go in white collar areas with a higher risk of tenants losing their high income or should it be a blue-collar area where jobs are more stable, but cash flow is lower?

Depending on your budget- the curb appeal would be greatly enhanced by painting the brick a lighter color- white or pale gray so that the entry doesn’t look so dark and unwelcoming.  

I am purchasing these apartment complexes now at about $33,000 a door in a blue collar good hard working neighborhood where I would not feel afraid for my 16 year old niece to walk around at 9:00 pm. on a Friday night.
