If it is a market rate class A, B or even C properties, I would say that it (basic maintenance) is something the tenant should handle considering that for these properties the tenants likely have additional resources to handle small maintenance issues. 

I have quite a bit of info regarding what areas are A, B, C and where you will find the most cash flow vs appreciation. 

For A/B class tenants that may be ok most of the time, but many tenants are paycheck to paycheck especially in cash-flowing markets.

So if you found something similar in a B, would that work for you?

Would you consider that town a "B" place or a "C" place? 

I can show you some really good stats about it and all of the different sub markets so you know what, in general, is a class A, B, C or worse and what markets to stay away from. 

If the location is an A but the tenant paying higher rent was a B or a C then replacing the location with an A tenant at slightly less rent in some cases you can actually increase the value.Example if you had an (A) location QSR but tenant was Burger King franchisee and they went out the Burger King might sell at 7 cap.

If you start in an affordable Sunbelt city like Birmingham or Montgomery, for example, you can acquire a turnkey rental in a B or C neighborhood for around $120,000.

Know the difference between Class A, B, C and D properties and areas. 

More importantly, we have the 183+ Detroit Neighborhoods mapped out and 104 of them identified a Class A, B, C or D.DM us if you'd like to discuss more...
