BRRRR in bad areas only

[David Slamer]

I am a newbie and working up to my first deal. However, one thing that is concerning to me is that all the potential BRRRR deals I am analyzing in my market (Dayton/Cincinnati) are in D-F areas that are showing little to no signs of improving in the near future. Right now I am mainly just working off Zillow, Redfin, real estate postings, etc.

Am I doing something wrong? Is that the general nature of doing BRRRR deals? Do I need to continue to expand my network so I can gain access to deals in better areas?

Thanks so much!
