If you are going to invest in class C I strongly recommend you physically go visit the property and the area with your own two eyes.

While your value added is in the physical aspect of real estate (building SFR, developing subdivisions, etc) our emphasis is on deal structuring (loan modification, wrap mortgages, interest rate arbitration, real property consolidation, tenant repositioning, etc.). 

Best of luck on your journey—your approach is strong, and with persistence, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals!

From my experience, here are a few property management companies that my clients have worked with:ERA Solutions: They have a strong presence in C-class neighborhoods.Realize Property Management: Better suited for A and B-class neighborhoods, though they do manage some C-class properties.Ohio Elite Management: Primarily focuses on B and C-class neighborhoods.

So you're in a strong position.
