Getting great tenants is fairly easy despite the crime because it is close to the major job centers and the perception is that we are turning the corner slowly.

Twenty years ago there were not as many service providers or the sophistication associated with being able to scale property management, development, and sales.

Handshakes don't work and life long friendships can be ruined, especially with spouses involved and any perception of one not doing the exact same amount of work and putting in the same amount of money into the venture.
