I preferred multi-tenant properties because if I had a tenant that couldn't pay rent, a non-paying renter typically did not risk my cash flow on the property (pre-coronavirus).  

Desirability of the area for renters (access to major roadways, attractions, shopping, nice neighborhoods)2.

If you buy a house right now to rent it out, make sure your renter is not a waiter, or bartender... you won't get any rent!

Red Bank values have been going up because they have latched onto the whole North Shore living/culture of being in close proximity to the river, so this is a highly desirable area and should be easy to get a renter into quickly.

The better cash flow places for long term renters are not in the most desirable areas in New Orleans.

I would like to get a renter in there as soon as the other tenant leaves. 

Paul renter protections that were recently put into place. 

I would investigate to see if the renters are using excess water, most commonly caused by a running toilet. 

There is little or no incentive for the renter to attend to a running toilet or an outdoor spigot (as Brian Garlington observes above). 

I should be getting some renters from that project this evening, their work starts tomorrow.
