Hi @Timothy Aughinbaugh,I don't know your market at all so take what i say with a grain of salt :)The properties look great for my area and would attract a good tenant base.

We've had great success in attracting + retaining good tenants and owners by providing an easy to use online portal.  

But on the other hand, potential buyers might be turned off by possibly having smoking attached neighbors.What do you think would attract more buyers at this price point?

The city's been doing a lot to make that part of town more attractive over the past few years.  

Often, investors exit when they cannot keep up with such expenses as taxes and mortgage plus the inability to attract income through getting tenants.

But I use it as just a benefit to attract renters and list what is included, mine includes heat and other things that allow me to raise the rent since it's included. 

When in doubt, neutral.The higher the rent, the higher class of renter (most likely).Upper class rentals bring in upper class people, but you have to have a property that attracts them.

I don't doubt you can find some good cash flowing prospects in those areas; some attractive school districts, affordable property, close to many employers, etc.

I was thinking tonight that we could use some personal money (right now we have not put any of our own money into it, just what the house is generating) to do some minor improvements that may help it be more attractive to investors.

I do not know that a realtor attracted to the Redfin business model ("a little less work for a little less pay") will on average be a good fit for an investor (that requires 5x more work).
