@Bryan Melendez you're just one of thousands of investors that:1) Were chasing Class A rentals from 2012-2020, before their values exceeded their pre Great Recession highs and they wouldbnt casflow at purchase anymore.2) That started chasing Class B rentals in 2020-2022 because of #1 above.3) Started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates also got too high to cashflow at purchase.4) Are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

The CO check is something my partners and I do as a pre-req on NYC properties and for sure will be something I'll be doing for anything outside of NYC.

2- are there specific markets to look for if one is looking to get into a pre-boom market?

I’m planning on using an FHA loan so I might as well go ahead and talk to a few lenders to start getting pre-approvals. 

The price seems slightly high given the pre rehab comp you mentioned.

That’s definitely something I’ll be incorporating into my thinking and also sharing with others going forward.Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective—it’s super helpful to hear how you approach the nuances of real estate investing!

I got pre approved for DSCR From 2 different lenders but they're both mid 7's in interest.

My other Revenue Stream is by selling the property as a venue for weddings, inclusive of all the rooms. 

For example, have you had to incorporate other softwares/integrations to solve a "problem"?

The ground floor is occupied by a commercial restaurant, and the upper floor is designated as SRO (Single Room Occupancy) under a pre-existing non-conforming use.
