—When real-estate agent Don Nugent listed a three-bedroom, two-bath house here on Jo Ann Drive, offers came immediately, including a $208,000 one from a couple with a young child looking for their first home.A competing bid was too attractive to pass up.

I don't know about Denver but in my areas $2500 a month is going to attract poor renters also. 

But do you actually want to live in these places, especially without a car (Norristown without a car, no thanks) and what type of tenants would you attract?

To expand beyond the circle of affluent people down in Greenville, perhaps you want to start doing social media and SEO to begin to attract people into your platform who don't live in your area.  

My understanding is that Act 20 has recently been amended by the law makers to eliminate the 5 employee requirement to attract more small businesses, as opposed to just these big hedge funds lol.

But getting the rents and have others pay for part of my mortgage is an attractive idea. 

@Mindy Jensen While there are only a few buildings still remaining in Centralia, it draws a lot of tourists.

Depending on the HOA fee, the rental option might be more attractive to me than the flip.

The rat exterminator also told me that there is alot of dog poop on the side yard of the house, where my tenant keeps one of his dogs, the rat exterminator said that dog poop attracts rats also.

Allure is extremely durable and attractive.
