You should do more research on the location before making the decision.

@Ricardo L Knight I agree with @Joseph Scorese I manage units in the area and the rental market is not as good as it use to be. It's getting a lot tougher to get good rental income (IMO). You'll have to figure out your all in cost (purchase price, rehab cost, management fees, etc) against the projected income. At the end of the day it's all about the numbers.

@Ricardo L Knight - they are all correct. Due your do diligence before investing a great way to find out the rents around the area is rentometer.com its pretty accurate. our rentals go by what the site says, maybe a 25 dollar difference. Rentometer says 950 we rent for 925 ;)
