When you are looking at rental properties what some of the things you look for in the home. ( I am only talking about the property itself and not the location)

Structure? 

Hardwood floors underneath?

Landscaping?

Bedroom count?

Bathroom Count?

Windows?

Roof?

Heating system?

Whatever it is go ahead and tell what you look for go?

Me,  I currently invest in Class C smaller multi-family homes so I look at Window count, The roof, gutters, and soffit, Heating systems, the flooring underneath the carpet, bathrooms, and kitchens. I also look at sockets, switches, and lighting fixtures as well.

In Detroit, I talk to the neighbors. When I drive the area I stop people when they're walking to ask how long they've lived there, how do they like it, how is the community, etc... Location is important, but a strong community is really really important.
