You're probably asking the wrong question.What about tenant quality, ease of management, appreciation potential, overall investment return, industry/job diversity, job growth forecasts, etc.? 

Next time, don't ease up your requirements.

Then paying someone to be your eyes to the area, repairs, and what it might rent for, that might be a property manager and a contractor.You may find that for the ease of the task, having a property manager or buyers agent to screen your deals and buying directly from a turnkey provider, the easiest as there are way less moving parts to manage and to pay.

Maybe look elsewhere in the area, are you looking there for your ease and near your job?
