(I’m referring to capital gains not from selling rentals). 

I am more interested in safer investments even if it means less cash flow.I am interested in areas with no lead paint so I am thinking either Akron or Lorraine?

Being a Broker myself, if I plan to sell, i will do the selling myself.

No sells pitching or offering services.

Tenant told me the owner of the property she's currently renting is selling and she needs a new place.

Hi, I am selling a property and willing to hold mortgage.

I would also agree that Pueblo West should be a slightly safer bet than Pueblo.My wife and I buy a primary residence every year and then rent out the previous home instead of selling when we move. 

Is it more difficult to sell? 

that's the sale pitch about the "tax efficiency" of equity investing in real estate).Note: don't forget / freak out about when you have to sell and pay back that depreciation.Good luck.

lol  i would not surprise in the future if state gov. make new law in CA saying that using SSN for housing / rental is an act of racism haha and LL has to treat everyone equally (DEI).In theory it's hundred times safer to rent the place to (illegal) immigrant rather than US citizen that has 800 credit score but just get out from jail.
