You are looking at older housing stock, and subtle differences within larger geographic areas.

But the area is nice, just landlords seems to have older amenities.

We've had a seasonal rental in Goose Rocks for a few years.

Hello everyone,I am so excited to have found this awesome resource and look forward to learning as much as possible from all you seasoned investors. 

I have not been able to negotiate out the restriction even on their older inventory. 

The gentleman I spoke to stated they have no lender's fees or points.  

Overall rent seems to be higher than east sides such as Riverside, but houses are relatively older as well, esp in the historic district where the city does not fancy investors come in and tear down the OG look of the area.

It's either pay more than the guy who is willing to overpay or just miss the deal.Any feedback from seasoned investors who have been doing this a long time would be much appreciated.

Older properties need more $$$.  

Fill up costs for 275 gallon tank that is 1/4 full still means you put in about 200 gallons or more; when prices crept to $4 per gallon, that's an $800 fill up that lots of tenants won't be able to cough up, or if they do the rent might be short ;) And it will need to be filled multiple times during a normal heating season; this past December, being so warm, obviously reduces that a bit this season.
