Lists are going to get bad reviews because they can really be hit or miss, there is no guarantee that anyone will respond to your mailer.

Also, co-dwellers will tell on bad occupants.

The first time going west on Bellevue and not west Calhoun, which you are right, not bad, still dicey.

I have two separate real estate agents, in those two different markets above, telling me that their option is the best choice. 

@Neill Herbert Hi Neill, are you happy with your choice?

Also, remember that you *can* identify more than three properties (if you really feel like three isn't enough choice or you have a ton of value you'd like to spread around between multiple replacement props) but you have to follow two rules:1.

Especially when it goes from mis-managed to well-managed or vice versa.If a property is increasing the NOI, the market’s cap rate is fixed and so the property’s value goes up.So in the situation you describe where NOI is effectively zero but could be a lot higher, you have three choices:1.

I'm considering buying a multi-family property (10 units) in a bad part of Miami (very low income, high crime). 

He is a lawyer based in Houston and there is a lot of good Texas-specific info on his site.It will impact you by being more expensive to get it set up and take time to make sure you follow the rules but if you want the HM loan, you don't really have a choice. 

Those happen too and you will get the bad with the good.
