Quote from @Jim K.:

It's a niche market. There's money in it, but it takes a lot of time and effort to learn the niche. And definitely, the further the neighborhood shades to D-class (and the real dividing line between C and D is crime and police response time), the less chance you have of making it work effectively.


 Thank you for your advice!

Quote from @Eliott Elias:

If the neighborhood you’re describing, is anything like where I invest (C/D class) the property is going to be a headache for a long time. Is it worth the potential?

Yeah definitely a c/d class as of now. But wondering if it’s slowly getting gentrified with all the new condos and Lofts being built.

Hello all!

Kind of new to bigger pockets but love all tools and information! Thinking BRRRRing a 3 family unit in a not ideal neighborhood. I actually grew up in the neighborhood and the school systems are not the best. But I see a lot of change happening! A new train station just opened that is approximately a 9 min walk that goes to Boston, MA. A lot of lofts were just built close by and they are building more! Are rentals walking distance to train stations more valuable? Thank you in advance for the feedback!
