You want stable, long term tenants in your rentals that will show the best long term property appreciation? 

We are in C-class neighborhoods, and the stability of the SFH's doesn't take very long for them to catch up to the "on paper" returns of the multi's that tend to be less stable. 

This means that the building may not be in the best of condition and the lender is requesting a firm opinion on if the property is in stable condition and for how much time the building is expected to remain standing. 

Providence is a 5 minute train ride away from the upcoming Pawtucket station, and pricing seems relatively stable. 

Real estate prices and construction costs are lower in Albuquerque, and ABQ is typically a pretty stable market to own rentals property.

Multi-family here in town is a good investment if you are looking to move into a more 'stable' neighborhood.  

Also, being that Lawrence is home to two universities, the rental market is fairly stable.

Being based out of Marietta, we focus a lot on the market here in NW Ga (Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, Paulding, etc), and the market in these areas, especially when compared to ITP properties, seems much more stable.

Some lenders do a better job of vetting their stable of appraisers than others but  it is an imperfect process.

Pretty good, the property is stabilized and generates stable monthly income for us.
