Here's my point, if you drive on the property and the parking lot has pot holes and you can't see the striping, weeds are overgrowing the sign, the exterior of the building has been painted in 15 years or, if brick, has never been power washed, what's going to be your first impression as you drive on the property, if you even make the turn.If you do come on the property everything you look at, even if the interior has been completely renovated, you're going to find fault and continue to look for what else is wrong.That said, as you're renovating the exterior the tenants will actually start to get excited.

Services such as Simpli Safe have month to month monitoring, and you can install the system on your own. 

I've always been impressed by your drive and ability to take action when it's the right time!!

When you move to the other corners of the city you can get some more attractive deals, but then you have more management issues and pricing volatility.A lot of Boston money is coming down here right now and driving up multi-family prices. 

Honestly speaking I enjoy the hunt of finding deals more than the actual deals themselves, so I don't mind spending tons of time analyzing deals and driving neighborhoods every week.

I personally find a property I am interested in and then drive by to check out the neighborhood (do people take care of their properties, are there lots of boarded up houses, etc.) . 

Economic strength" is measured as the number of employment driving industries, e.g., Finance, Manufacturing, Information, Mining, Oil & Gas, etc..., that are major factors in the local economy.

This drives up the value of the homes.

As I told im just starting out and want to try slow and safe even if this means this property won’t make as much as a successful rehabbed place.

My driving commute car is a 1995 acura integra that was a hand me down from my millionaire sister who drove that integra for 10 plus years. 2.
