Is the home in a "better location" than the other homes, does it have upgrades in it that would make it more appealing or warrant higher paying renters?

The Iron Bound section will be lower than other areas because it has more appeal. 

Curb appeal and nice block- you cant control your street or neighborhood after you own so make sure the area is clean before you buy a property because you are not going to change the neighbors once.

appeal to 90% of the market 90% of the time.  

. ;)But seriously, I know I am not the only one on the site to wish I had been in your situation AND already thinking about REI when I was in my mid 20s.Before making any moves, I would use the BP site to get a feel for what kind of REI most appeals to you.

California Franchise Tax Board, Fresno Superior Court, No.13CECG02171, Order on Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment, November 14, 2014)The court found that because Swart's interest in the LLC was an investmentinterest and Swart had no ability or right to manage the affairs of the LLC,Swart's interest was not comparable to a general partnership interest and didnot give rise to doing business in California.If you have not filed a claim for refund for non-California corporations or LLCswho have filed and paid tax to California based on their investment in aCalifornia LLC, we suggest you do so now before the statute of limitationsexpires.The FTB will most likely appeal the case, but by filing the protective claim youreserve the right to a refund should Swart prevail in the end.Does anyone care to speculate how this would apply to other scenarios where one was a minority partner without sole controlling interest in California entities OR to entities that just had a place of business in California where the entity was formed in another state?  

It may sound very appealing because of the low asking price, however, it turns out that banks aren't very interested in giving you a mortgage on a former grow-op property.

That is worth examining.The best thing you can do is work on your criteria and understand what kind of property is most appealing to you and why.

She certainly is a great stager and photographer!  

Currently buy and hold seems most appealing and conducive to me as I have a full time job.
