I came across this article from Kellogg Insight showing how online sports betting is eating into people’s savings. Some are spending hundreds—sometimes thousands—a month, draining their financial futureAs real estate ...

Hello John,, Question, how do you determine which are C+, or even B class neighborhoods? 

@Derrick Roland II Let's see, traffic noise, challenges backing out of your driveway, have to keep kids in backyard and off front sidewalks, big trucks passing by will shake the whole place, can't think of anything positive.All the negatives will reduce your max rent and make it harder/longer to find tenants.What's more important is understanding if the Neighborhood is Class C or D.

They are usually looking at C or D properties that local agents tell them will “cash flow“ They usually don’t cash flow because of high maintenance and vacancy.

Your making a bet on them, that they can operate there business well and thus, will be good tenants. 

Gino if I was betting that is what I would bet on.. also many students will put these in CC then try to get the CC card company to reverse it.. sometimes the CC card company will do that. 

@Danielle B. as already stated, you should invest in real estate, not bet on government funding.Interesting article reviewing what Trump did to HUD during his last term:https://www.housingwire.com/articles/what-trump-budget-reque...

Please stop asking us for "the best" zip codes to invest in.Detroit has around 183 Residential Neighborhoods - wouldn't it be nice if "some property mangagement company" Classified them all as A, B, C, or D on an interactive map that real estate investors could use to make better decisions?

What class tenants do you have - B, C or other?
