Buying from secondary market or looking to originate / seller finance ?

I wanted to ask if anyone who was originally an investor from CA moved to other landlord friendly states like NV, AZ, TX and found their market and how that has been. 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

For simplicity, I've assumed no principal paydown on the original $300,000 mortgage.After two years: $400,000 × (1 + 8%)^2 × 75% - $300,000 ≈ $49,920After three years: $400,000 × (1 + 8%)^3 × 75% - $300,000 ≈ $77,914After four years: $400,000 × (1 + 8%)^4 × 75% - $300,000 ≈ $108,147While the above example is oversimplified, the concept is valid.

If you sign a lease with a nursery school teacher and CPA with credit scores of 800+ with a 3-year-old, what’s the likelihood that they will suddenly start cooking meth and destroying your property? 

Quote from @Scoop Schneider: 86k principle 7.5IR 360 months 800 credit score 1st position Put it on paperstac. my guess without dropping it into any calculator would be its worth $50-$70k assuming property value is above $100k

Down payment, closing costs, boosting credit score, etc. 2) Find rockstar team members that will be your boots on the ground to help you find a great property to invest in.3) If you're considering your house hack ROI.
