The cash flow always appears better in C and D locations.

Hoping to buy one property by the end of this year, 2 next year and to scale up.Neighbourhood: Class B or C+ neighbourhood.Rehab: Comfortable with cosmetic and upgrades to the property but not a whole tear down gut job. 

@Joey SabatiniRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below FCheers from Fort Worth, TX

JonIn Connecticut you really want to stick to C plus to b neighborhoods.

This but taking it a step extra: If you own a business in an S corp, having a C corp as a management company to do solo 401k and hold cash for any retained earnings needs can be a perfect addition to those who have SBA debt and want to pay it off quickly.

If you can visit, that's great, even if it's just to get a general lay-of-the land.Understand what your goals are and what property classes you're targeting (A/B/C neighborhoods).
