But you will likely not hit a grand slam.Keep trying to add value.

The other areas that I had been interested in is Grand Rapids, MI and Milwaukee, WI.

Casa Grande is also cheaper and the strongest in the area (Maricopa, Coolige, Eloy, Florence, etc.)

This one is for sure a grand slam but even singles are double digit returns. 

This went in for years until finally the system went down twice in a single season however with the new units(actually replaced both coils but charged me over a grand for freon again.

I would not do a 2 year lease, 1 year will give you more options, increase rent, kick them out, etc.Older lady no kids.... what if she watches her 12 grand kids and their pappies everyday of the week???
