I go all out and constantly device ways and methods to accomplish this in a novel and unique way.This little handbook I have written here literally is worth  a LOT of money (in my humble opinion) This is SO well guarded, I do not have it in digital form.

Summerlin (always a good/safe bet).

Do what you need to do to keep the cost down while making it safe and secure.

Most of them need cosmetic work to but are completely structurally sound and safe to live in.I'm unsure of all the legal matters of renting out a duplex if the tenant doesn't pay rent or destroys the place, and having to get evicted.

Given this market, I have found that the most successful properties: are in safe neighborhoods, slightly below market rent, include a dedicated parking space (very important), a place to cook (kitchen or kitchenette) and a high number of bathrooms per bedroom (e.g. if 2 bedrooms or more, make sure there are 2 bathrooms).

From what I've seen, OTE is becoming a new safe haven for young people who want the unique historic feel of German or Italian village but can't quite afford the higher prices.

I notice several members here use account aggregators like Mint. I'd like to begin doing the same, but my concern is that many banks don't support 'screen-scraping', and they warn customers not to give softwares acces...

Get some security cameras from a company like simpli-safe and post them so you catch any cars with the license plates coming in and out.

If you get a vetted, high quality tenant that is likely to be a safe bet to make money, would you reduce rent in order to close the deal? 

@John AcklenI’m thinking overall 100% occupancy being is the clear cut best to strive for, but honestly that, on a consistent year by year basis, is rare during a hold.Hovering at market vacancy or below is safe.
