@David Faulkner I didnt realize neighborhoods had a class. What considers neighborhoods as class A, B, or C and is there a specific way to weed these out from one another?

What do you guys look for in a given area when thinking about rental properties? Do you prefer lower income areas where the housing is cheaper? Higher income areas where the sub divisions are more well kept but housing costs are higher? There is a town near me that has lower income families. The houses arent all that well maintained, but there are alot multi units and houses that are cheap. Im just worried about the lower income areas and the tenants being able to pay rents on time. If you chose lower income how do you handle that?

Agree with @Nicole A., see what your market is paying for your type of rental.    I use CL, zillow, hotpads,  and make adjustments based on amenities, our biggest thing is including a washer and dryer.     

Regarding the increase, it all depends on your market.. if it's a hot market, I think a 3% increase each year is reasonable, but if you do low income areas like myself,  I'd really recommend structuring the leases where they get a discounted rent if paid by the first.   If they don't, the price is about $30-$50 higher, that way you get your rent in sooner, and if they don't, you get a higher amount to reflect the risk.   The choice is the tenants, which I think they like too! 

 I REALLY REALLY like this idea! 

thanks for the input guys!!!!

Hey to all my biggerpocket.com friends!!!

Just signed up for this and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Adam and I am in the Chicago Suburbs. I am an active licensed Realtor that is looking to get involved with house flips and Rental Investment proprerties, both single family and multi-unit... I am coming here to gather knowledge, network, and gather strategies for investing into these types of units.

Are there any others around from the area?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and gathering the knowledge you have! I have SOOOOOOOO many questions!!!!

Adam
