Drive or Google‑Street‑View blocks near hospitals, universities, and major employers, but avoid tucked-away streets with poor visibility and heavy blight.

@Josh Reynolds I've offered 500 to local mailmen/women, UPS drivers and fed ex drivers . there the ones on the dead end streets and areas that aren't out in the open.

If you're looking to mitigate future risks, be super selective with the neighborhoods (or streets) you choose to invest in.

Both small homes on the same street so put them in their own LLC.

I know my numbers, processes, markets/locations, rental strategies (some houses were even bought on the same street as another one that I own), but that nervous feeling has never gone away for me. 

From non-payment of rent to trashing up a unit, to drug or crime problems, domestic abuse, hoarding etc - not to mention you'll get killed by 1000 needle pricks, small issues that grind you down and make you never want to buy a second property.

I looked up the zoning and it's operated as a C3 and also duplex with multiple petitions.For the price it's at and considering my MTR strategy, and my primary is 5 minutes down the street, I'd be willing to petition the county.

Maybe adding a front fence and some trees/bushes to block out the noise could help for tenants to be happy, but I've house hacked on a busy street and had no issues finding tenants! 

Example:Repaired leaky toilet at 123 Main Street.
