A higher quality property in a better neighborhood in a better city is gonna outperform any Cleveland property in the long run.

Schedule a final inspection to ensure quality standards are met.Each of these sections would come with an estimated timeline, budget, and list of materials required, making it easy to track progress and expenses during the project.

In order to harness as much of the effects that add to your net worth you want to buy as many assets as you can, and as much quality as you can afford.It is very tempting to go into cheap neighborhoods, but especially with the old housing stock we have in the Midwest capex will exceed cash flow over time and you are not building equity.Consider your first deal a proof of concept.

Here's some copy & paste advice we hope you find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------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?

In the lifespan of your investing if you continue investing this speed bump will become smaller to you.
