Then they will make the call as to whether it's in such bad shape that it should be torn down, or if it should be offered for sale to someone who will promise to rehab it.This is all just part of the territory when buying sub-$10K houses in D or F class neighborhoods in Cleveland in this day and age.

If you're in a B class area and you've only fixed your property up to D or C class, it might be harder to rent.

And stay right on top of them or in other words are members of the community were they invest and therefor has command and control .And those of you who happen to live in parts of the country were these low hanging fruit can partake successfully in this business should count themselves fortunate that these assets are so readily available to you within a 30 minute drive..I did not read anything that changed my mind that the 2% rule keeps prices from rising in any appreciable manner as value only rise's with rent increase's and rents are fairly stable in all these markets.Lastly as to class of asset being it A B C or D that is in the eye of the beholder, my C could be your D or visa versa .....Off to Milwaukee today then Chicago  Beer and Brats  Friday fish Fry, Deep dish pizza Miracle mile... should be a fun week on the road.Best to all

We typically get into B or C neighborhoods but not D or super depressed.I'd love to hear what others would do in this situation.

I am not sure why the D or any other struggling city does not do this.

I'm not an Investing expert but I do know that adding those items ( especially the plumbing and boiler ) will make a residential real estate appraiser not ask to do a 442 or 1004D if a buyer is looking to buy with a conventional loan.A 1004 D or 442 means that the appraiser is saying something isn't up to par per fannie, fha or freddie guides and he/she will return ( at a cost ) when the items are done. 

I don't want to buy in d or c neighborhoods.

That cashflow allowed me to live in either a D or C neighborhood.Afterward, I was able to continue. today, my partners and I have 8 multi-family properties in Brooklyn. 

Sounds like D or F properties.  

I do understand Baltimore has plenty of D or even F neighborhoods.
