The owner only disclosed mild carpet stains and wear and tear in the basement.

A lot of nice little streets with some mildly rougher areas mixed in.

It's certainly possible, especially if the government does something to muck things up, but as of today I would expect mild increases over the next couple of years.Since you have an eye toward retirement I'd recommend that you get to know the area within about a 15-20 minute drive of your residence.

I have faced similar problems in other areas , for ex , I wanted to find a nutritionist/doctor who can help with tweaking my food and suggest supplements to resolve my insomnia and some mild depression i was experiencing around 7 yrs ago .

@Roberto Gutierrez The climate here is fairly mild.

Summers are hot winters are mild. 

The holdup for me will be how quickly I can do mild renovations and make each ready to rent.

I wasn't sure if detergent and a mop would harm the wood floors or not. 

Our winters are relatively mild, compared to Boston or Washington, DC or Chicago or NYC.

Also, I'm mildly amused that both @Scott Trench and @Steve French have replied.
