One of the biggest challenges of investing in Rustbelt cities is knowing where to invest and properly understanding the cooresponding pros & cons.Here's copy & paste advice we share to help to address this challenge:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hoping others experienced similar with input to share, lessons learned etc.1) REFRIGERATOR: Brand new refrigerator was installed after tenant  maybe two-three years ago. 

Any input you could share?

Gotta say, the discussions here have been pretty informative, especially with folks like @Taylor L. and Andrew sharing their insights.Looking at your list, I’ve actually known invetors who recently ventured into Memphis and Greensboro.

There are a bunch of great investors who are more than happy to share and network (including myself). 

Thanks again for sharing your insights!

I've exchanged our place with another host by on a 1-1 bases.Host share seems to have an interesting concept of exchange available nights but within 5 days.....so what typically is not rented.
