We have a Bradford Pear at one property - our first, very near the street and the driveway of our rental. 

Our 1bd/ 1bth property is located in sunny Kihei, Maui right across the street from Kamaole II Beach (just about 75 yards from the beach!).

Hi Genna,I am a REI in Cincinnati, I am familiar with the street and area.  

The bulk of the properties that are above 1.5% (and they come and go) are typically within the Kansas City limits and are usually what I'd call "B-" neighborhoods.Occasionally we have some outside KC in the suburbs, like the one we have right now on East 129 Street in Grandview has a 1.7% R/V ratio ($57,000 turnkey renting for $950/mo).They come and go, especially the ones with higher R/V ratios.Continued success!

For many it does not work (my partner and me might end up as part of that bucket someday, that is yet to be determined), but there are always exceptions to every "rule" (or popular opinion).  

The average rent for like properties  is $1225 per month.My first investment buy and hold was a triplex at 49th and Walnut street in the 19139 zip. 

Comps on the same street are around $155,000 as a conservative number. 

It's neutral, popular, would match the roof, and wouldn't seem like a duplicate home to the next house over. 

They don't seem to be very popular here though.

In our area vinyl wood planks are really popular for rentals.
