Noise and the military is buying up parts of the neighborhoods around the base that are with in a new safety zone of the run way.  

I've been interested in Macon bc of the lower price point, but am not sure of the safety factor.

Cap rates have increased but they are still around 5% or less, so not a lot of margin for safety... 

I would suggest doing market analysis like looking at property value trends, economic growth in the area, neighborhood safety, local regulations, etc.

Longterm, it’s preferable to punch your debt in the face and hold onto your property but if you do sell that will definitely jump start your debt freedom journey which would add a measure of safety for your family and peace for your pregnant wife (congrats btw!).

Ensure safety and quality standards. 3.

Hi John,120 degrees Fahrenheit is the safety recommendation against scalding, but 140° is the common default setting. 

You are wise to research the area for safety.

It's not like he or she will come inspect your camera installation so a written "do this, don't do that" isn't that expensive.And I really don't mean to be a downer or anything but if your tenant is concerned about safety, solid deadbolts, sturdy doorframes and a monitored alarm would be worlds better than a camera system that only passively records things.

You will find it very difficult to find financing due to location/low cost for lenders (commercial especially), finding good tenants is much harder and you will have to lower your criteria, safety concerns if you self manage, and difficulty trying to get anything done with the city.
