@Benny Morfas

There is nothing wrong with buying a 4-plex out of state for $39,900 in a C or D area it all depends on the PM company that you feel can successfully manage it and make it work for you that is the toughest part!! 

Now if it was in your city/area then you could make it happen with less stress..

For example- I purchased this 4-plex located at 306 South Lauderdale Memphis Tn 38126 

306 South Lauderdale Memphis TN before renovations

For a WHOOPING $5000 yep $5k -  Renovated it and rented it out for $450 a unit... and this is considered by many a C/D area as well. 

After renovations 306 South Lauderdale Memphis TN

@Al D.

What "this" is... Is explained by @Michael Williams vacant houses in his mom's C/D area showed those properties as they were and had tenants lined up to rent them before they were finished. By no means will I proclaim to be the best as you stated, I have only been owning, managing, rehabbing, investing in properties here in Memphis TN in C/D grade areas since 2002. Also I was born and raised in some of these same areas, If I have a property in shape to show a potential tenant then I show it. That has never stopped nor deterred any potential renters especially in D areas of Memphis TN.

Again this is just my opinion and you have the right to run your properties how you would like to.

@Michael Williams 

I 100% agree with you!! I try to explain this to some of my investors/owners most understand which is GREAT!! 

"There WERE numerous vacant house in her area and one rental company started buying them and showing them as they were and had tenents linded up before they finished rehabbing them."

Thank you,
