If it is a higher end rental like Gabriel said then you may want to go with something nicer to attract the tenants to the higher rent.

It was full of gangs and believe it or not, Ogden had a mall at the time (that mall has since been demolished because of its attraction for gang members).

Only excellent photos of a bright, attractive and desirable property will grip the attention of prospective tenants.Screen prospective tenants - This is the critical task of the property manager.

This mean that during their cruise the oceanfront view is going to be all of the gorgeous Placencia Villas, talk about attraction to an area!

At 80-90% LTV, you should be able to establish a line of credit for $150k+ at very attractive interest rates to fund other investment opportunities (such as down payments on other properties). 

Half-assed work only attracts half-assed buyers...

I do not believe it is.The attraction to investing in real estate is the perception that it is relatively low risk/high profit. 

I'm under the impression I'll get a worse interest rate, but 5% down and other tax incentives make it look like an attractive option. 

But it's my understanding that there are problems with the local government not being friendly to business.If they would go on an all-out program to attract and nurture business, the city could recover.

I myself haven't latched onto this model yet, another set of hands touching my food isn't that attractive to me.
