@Rory DarcyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Property TypeUnderstand the different types of multifamily properties:High-Rise: 9+ floors with an elevator, often urban.Mid-Rise: Smaller than high-rise, usually with elevators.Garden-Style: Low-rise apartments in suburban or rural settings.Walk-Up: 4–6 stories without elevators.Manufactured Housing Communities: Mobile home parks where land is leased to homeowners.Special-Purpose Housing:Student Housing: Designed for college students.Senior Housing: Dedicated to older adults.Subsidized Housing: Affordable housing supported by rent and income restrictions.3.

And you get feedback at a level high enough to determine how to proceed. 

The exchange must also be for like kind and quality.

Focusing solely on numbers often leads to the purchase of low-quality properties.

It depends on your financial strength, the quality of the property, how many properties you own, etc.I like to start with one significant expense and three months of vacancy.
