You’ll want to invest in areas that have tenant interest but also aren't on the extreme end of neighborhood quality—this means avoiding the very toughest spots, where turnover can be high and managing tenants can be difficult.

That being said, I'm not a fan of holding property in anything sub B quality. 

Now let's look at Quality based on grade of wood.There are primarily two different terminologies and methods to grade Quality. 

Many education programs that could be scams promote junk services and the quality of all they sell or promote is definitely junk. 

I don't know how difficult of a task this would be, but suspect it would make for better quality forum content. 

It depends on your financial strength, the quality of the property, how many properties you own, etc.I like to start with one significant expense and three months of vacancy.

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.

I currently work remotely as a Manufacturing and Quality Manager for an AI infrastructure company based out of the Bay Area. 

Perhaps a better vetting of the buyers on the BP side will enable better quality leads?

-------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.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.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
