I follow the logic - larger units, families with kids, lower crime rates.

Again, other investors may set different goals... for instance, someone who has been in the game a while and gotten really good at finding amazing deals and managing their portfolio super efficiently might not accept lower than a 15 to 20% CoC Return.When it comes to some of the "rules of thumb" like the 1% rule and the 50% expense rule, these are really more quick analysis tricks to help you understand whether a property is worth looking into further... not final criteria for whether or not you should buy.

Less liens won, dollar amounts down and number of investors who won was also lower.

@Jacob Price I see what you mean, that is a pretty good ROI for nearly no maintenance I was just comparing it in my head to if I put I home on it and the lower rent didn’t seem as appealing.And as far as access it is actually the corner lot on Coyote Trail and Fawnridge drive if you reference the area.

So lower taxes, no tenants to manage and he avoids capital gains- right?

I can probably make it such that W2 is slightly lower income.Or is it based on time spent?

Lower CAP here as it's a higher end area and building.  

The rates are lower but watch out if there is a claim.

I also figured if I get the right tenant I can negotiate lower rent for certain things like lawn care and such but again these are just thoughts running through my head at the moment. 

Of course, your return gets lowered, but that is the problem with simply looking for more cash flow.
