Capex, because if you don't budget for a roof, but need to replace it, you just spent the next 3 yrs of free cash flow, and unfortunately a new roof does not increase the value of your property much, if at all.Tenant because in my experience, rougher neighborhoods generate more turn over and higher turnover costs.  

But I love the aspect of LTR being very low maintenance once they are rented.

Also, take a look at Meetup.com and the events tab here on BP to find some local meet ups that most likely will have most of these people under one roof that you can chat with on a monthly bases.
