Long Term Rental Analysis

[Matthew Jones]

I'm just starting out, what are the quantitative and qualitative aspects of a property you analyze to make a decision on whether or not it will be a good long term hold?

I live in an area that's relatively poor and has a lot of cheap housing. A large population in the area lives in apartment complexes. I'm wondering if they would be willing to give up those amenities for privacy, even if it's in a below par neighborhood.
