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.

Safe-ish area with solid houses around.

The good deals are never found on a device or at your computer in your underwear. 

We partner with law enforcement to keep the community safe, report all crime, and remove graffiti as quickly as it appears.

We felt relatively safe buying ours as they had just gone through an over $16K per unit special assessment several years earlier for new roof and siding and had raised the condo fees to build the reserves up so it doesn't happen again.  

The units we can afford are in areas that i dont feel safe living in.

They'll ask that you direct your title business to their company in return, but there usually is no cost otherwise.If you really wanted to do it yourself, and don't want to go sit at the county, the ONLY safe option is to subscribe to the same electronic title plants that the title companies use.

I am approved for an FHA loan (Keep that in mind since it often complicates things).This has so far proven to be extremely difficult in my price range, rent potential, in safe neighborhoods.

I'd assume at least $50-60k to be safe. 2) Comp on the same street that appears to be under contract for $259.9k- but slightly larger at 1900 sf, 2.5 baths, fully renovated: http://u.zillow.com/p2T5Pn/3) General Zillow #s for Hampden are more like $220k, not close to $300k.
