This property isn’t in an A class neighborhood by any means and really just looking to update enough to be able to be livable.

C / C- Class

KEEP THE BEST, FLIP THE RESTIf this is in a D class area and you're chasing cash flow from section 8 tenants, I would sell it, move on and reinvest your capital in a solid area.If this is a solid area (A-B Class) with lots of job opportunities, growth in area, etc, then hold out for a tenant and rent it.

Not sure where this rental is but if it's an A or B class neighborhood, that's probably why you're self managing it.

That's the problem because you have no ultimate control of your property and it's a sign that you're treated second class compared to the locals .

You shouldn't touch a Baltimore neighborhood under $200k unless you are a very experienced landlord with class c/d properties.

Having thoughts putting an offer in for a car dealership lot in the intercity (Class C neighborhood) that I would like to lease long term NNN.

I can't even count how many times I have seen posts on Biggerpockets from struggling investors trying to rent out Section 8 properties or D class properties out of state.Everyday there is a new post from a Newbie Investor who put their hard earned cash into a dud of an investment and cannot figure out why they can't find a solid tenant, why their tenants don't pay, or some other horror story related to investing out of state/D class real estate. 

I have a lot of resources for investors that can help show you class a b c locations and have off market deals.  

I think this is the gift and the curse of a still emerging asset class (short term rentals) - as it becomes more "institutional" i.e. more like commercial real estate with more sophisticated buyers then financials and systems for this will likely become more streamlined and stable, but we are still in a place where the buyer pools are more newish investors or typically residential basic investors, so not has experienced or sophisticated evaluating investments based on a detailed financial analysis like more seasoned commercial investors likely would.anyways, just a guess on what might be going on here
