Plus, you’re often dealing with a lower-quality tenant base, which means more maintenance issues.It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for consistent rent and less turnover, it could be worth considering.

Why is quantity better than quality?

Also greatly important are quality contractors at great prices who won't disappear with your 50% deposit.

My instinct tells me yes if I can find quality properties at my price point, but that there could be some benefit to putting it all on one potentially more reliable/higher quality structure. 

Gilbert, for instance, is known for its excellent schools, high quality of life, and strong local economy.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

So you need to be local to know who is in the area and ensure your street doesn't transition down in quality...it can happen in 12-18 months before you can do anything about it.

I see quality tenants in the historic northeast, they get good value and like living in older buildings.

You can edit it, but be careful to not get too cute, the quality of your contract is the quality of your deal.2.

@Sephr BemanpourRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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?
