I have been spending time studying materials on BP to know more about real estate investing.I plan to invest  in Nigeria and Uae but there are no post ,blogs or articles on BP that i have read so far that talks extensively or give strategies based on this two markets .So the challenge I have is that most of the post on Bp talking about stragies of acquiring a property and rentals does not really tally with the Nigerian market.

Very lovely woman with nice children-I liked her & wanted to rent to her.

It's made it a little challenging to figure out what neighborhoods are good and which are not so good, but I've been driving around a lot to get a better feel for the area.My long term goal is passive income from rentals, and from my research Spartanburg is at about 50% renters to owners, so that sounds like a great place for buy and holds.

People buying these properties either have no children of school age or are willing to drive them to the private schools north of Downtown.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Require full transparency from the contractor regarding written deliverables, timelines and contingencies (including soft costs/ muni challenges) project management/subs/materials/delivery/warranty/installation challenges. 

Six children may put lots of wear and tear so make sure you set money aside for it.

Well, the big challenges (rent control/stabilization, tenant friendly housing courts, tough renovations/need for expeditors, etc.) is NYC-wide, no differences between the boroughs there.As for Manhattan proper, my take is it comes down to two distinct reasons.
