Make sure you consider not only what attractions are near by but also the saturation (or lack thereof) of short-term rentals.

You lack control over the investment, regardless if the fitness center has windows or not.

Expertise in property management goes far beyond finding a tenant and managing repairs, and includes well defined processes for managing these things (which you mentioned she is lacking).As far as finding a great property management company, Keyrenter Denver is great, although I'm not sure they manage in your area.

This is inline with other organizations that typically say 3% - 5%.imho you discriminate if you try to repunish anyone after they faithfully served time and are off probation. or block they only or singularly because felony. avg 25% are innocent ie 25% of all incarcerations are forced, from intimidation, lying, confession done illegally, unethically or immorally obtained at gun point fearfully wrong. if you have no 1st hand experience please do real interviews, research etc. 25% is just not all from one source  as i said its only starting point. lots felons are for weed. innocence project doesnt handle all cases but based on tiny amount they do cover for free per limited # state and dont cover all states nor have unlimited tax money like local da ag have. they are one example and only handle certain cases. you must dig deeper than one organization or one year. any cop, ag or da makes many mistakes than 1 4. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_56ac0374e4b00b0...you are ignorant blind or safety bubble hasnt popped yet. some day soon youll be in cuffs and wonder why. its inevitable in police state. and despite your lack of compassion, grace or mercy ill still give you honest chance rent. more than most  courts give people today. 

@Bob Stevens - Thank you for taking the time to reply.The same can be said about many markets, so I want to ensure we see the same thing.If you look at the increase in rental prices, the lack of supply, and the increase in building permits, you could say there is an opportunity here.

Enforcement was definitely lacking in the past.

That looks like common surface mold due to lack of ventilation.

What made my investor interested in this deal is the lack of inventory in Folcroft.

I believe this may have been passed down to them prior and they don’t really do this often based on the condition of the home, and lack of communication.The back yard is overgrown with weeds, the sidewalk has been damaged and rubble for years now.

I wanted to share my to do list in case anyone here with more wisdom than I can help me spot any gaps or things I may not be thinking of from a lack of experience and/or share pointers!
