Overall they can be a lot more lucrative but they also are a lot more work and you need to do your homework so you don't lose your shirt!

In many cases when shopping class C/B there is a fine line in distinguishing between a flat out bad deal and early gentrification.I look at ABCD resident classes and describe them by the shirts they wear:A Class: White collar professionals just one step away from home ownership, demand for high amenitiesB Class: Blue collar hard working American Families, proud of their home, keep it clean, may rent for long time before buyingC Class: T-Shirts with Subsidies and Section 8 residents can be profitable but usually require higher maintenance and tenant "da-rah-mah"D Class: NO SHIRTS drinking 40's out of paper bags on the front stoop, get fitted for kevlar or RUN!!!!

I didn't either, but when you're young, freshly divorced, have lost your home and have no idea what to do next you're an easy target.

You don’t have to work in a big office and wear shirts and ties, and sit open houses and gather “leads†if you don’t want to.
