there's pros and cons to everything in life; overcome to power lines with attractive items of the house and/or adjust the price accordingly.

I have also thought about filling in the pool and planting grass in the courtyard to save that expense, but not sure how popular the pool is for attracting tenants.  

@Logan Allec Thanks for the input, definitely looks very attractive on paper!

If the interest rate is attractive (most are at least 6 times CD rates unless they've been bought down), and the property is worth acquiring it may be worth rolling the dice.Good Luck!

There are a number of negotiating points (other than your concept in general) that would increase your attractiveness as a tenant including length of term, tenant improvement allowance, guarantees, and so on.  

Having parking in West Haven will attract additional renters, You are opening your rental pool to those we're not interested because they worried about parking their vehicles on the street.

I would have to agree 100% with Alex Craig it is better for you to get higher priced properties which in turn attract higher quality tenants which in turn makes management of the property much easier.

Most of the ones I researched into had entire months worth of vacancies, including many that had no vacationers for the upcoming weekend.

Provide a level of quality that may attract the better quality of tenants, but don't overdo it.

Of course, to compound this analysis, you can have a modest area that actually has certain sections that are seeing growth due to proximity to education, transportation, industry, or some other attraction like rivers and recreation.
