I want to start off with a four unit apartment building and use that as leverage to attain more properties. What statistics should I look for that will shoot out a red flag of interest to make them the most appealing, cap rate, operating expenses, taxes, etc…? I want to have a local real estate management company look after it since they are more experienced in managing properties than I am. I know this will decrease the amount of cash flow the property will produce but at least I know the property is managed properly.

After 20 years in the Military moving from state to state and country to country and after working overseas as a civilian for the last 10 years were ready to settle down and retire. We are now looking for a state to retire to that has low property taxes, not too cold of a climate, reasonably price homes, low crime and a city no larger than 500,000 people. We do not have any kids in school so the school system is not important to us. We lived in Texas and the property taxes are high, also lived in Georgia where the property taxes are not to bad. If we had a $250,000 home in your area what would the property taxes be?
