Keep an eye on her property and take regular pictures to identify what is on her property in the event it migrates to yours in the future.

Structural improvements (opening up entry-ways, increasing bathrooms size, etc.)This strategy works for me, but I have a construction background, so I know what improvements are possible and what improvements I will make before making an offer, and I'm able to either do the work myself or keep a knowing eye on any contractors who might try to cut corners.  

You can filter to the PM who you want to not-renue and who you what to renew as well as keep an eye on the property..

My advice would be to keep an eye on the block at various times of day and talk to some of the neighbors see if you can get some insight like that.

I wouldn’t set my eyes on waiting to time the market, as others have said that pretty tough!

Do your research and put a good team together to be your eyes and ears here in OKC. 

It is very eye opening.

If naked, likely wearing patches over my eyes for protection!

I have a few clients I keep my eyes open for investment homes for, would be more than happy to add you to that list :)No worries if you do already!!

Having said this, I think the most important thing with rentals in this type of neighborhood is you have to have someone you can trust keeping an eye on your properties.
