Hi Shakil, I'm a Realtor and Property Manager in Huntsville AL who specializes in working with investors!

You can never know 100% but if you see businesses, company offices, increasing traffic, proximity to a desirable neighborhood or area (beach, downtown, etc), odds are it will help.

I recommend you read some books about how to manage properties well, use a strong contract, know that contract inside/out, know your state law inside/out, build policies and procedures to catch and stop problems quickly, know how to screen and select good applicants, etc.An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

However, a few things I would suggest to give you a better perspective is: 1) Talk to property management companies in the area to see if they operate in the area and/or have comments on tenants in the area, 2) Speak to a few banks to understand how they would lend on this property, 3) Scan Zillow/craigslist and other listing sites to understand the rental market for listings...

CONTEXT-(30k in credit card debt, split between 4 cards, mostly in charged off status)(one vehicle loan that was charged off, is now caught up to current, not paid off, 50k original loan amount)(some card companies are contacting me trying to make a deal, so likely only have to pay 20k of debt off.

I have a colleague in the area with my RE company, they are mostly investor focused if you send me a DM I can connect you.

I always find REIA meetings great for networking with local lenders, contractors, property managers and other like minded investors who are usually willing to share referrals.
