I do not desire to reward tenants for poor behavior.I explain the consequences of an eviction to the tenant.

I have a C+ class rental I charge $550 for when market rents are $700, but the tenant takes care of the prop and has no desire to go anywhere... my vacancy % on paper is closer to 1%.  

Duplexes are ubiquitous here, also in good, desirable neighborhoods and tend to generate higher rents per unit.

You can create wealth with either approach but both approaches are more challenging than in the recent past.At this point I mostly seek highly desired property locations such as beach or lake front, Mountain cabins, bonus if they are near a destination such as national park of monument or other tourist attraction, etc.

For homeowners, it reflects the desirability of these areas for both buyers and renters.Here’s a closer look at the lowest vacancy areas in Mecklenburg County this month—and what makes each one stand out.28204 – Elizabeth/Midtown Charlotte | 4% VacancyElizabeth is one of Charlotte’s most historic and desirable neighborhoods.

but it's interesting to get ranges of projections on appreciation, rental demand, and potential rents.it probably continues to make the more desirable areas more desirable and the less desirable areas less desirable.Thank you!

Cleveland Hts, Toledo; all the rust belt cities are considering this kind of legislation.     100 year old homes can be charming, desirable and more affordable than a new build but look to local laws.   

Because I like quality properties in good locations and school districts that are desirable to nice tenants with stable lives (which is a level up from stable income).

The property has a small parking pad for me but the parking in the area seems way more reliable than the more "desirable" neighborhoods.For those that have been in the Baltimore Real Estate game for a while - I'm curious what your opinion on this area is as I've seen mixed reviews. 

This doesn’t mean it has to be new or nice, it can still be a fixer-upper, but the idea is to pick a desirable property in a desirable area, the best that you can afford.
