@William SilvaRecommend 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?

And I would probably look at the smaller houses where you can keep your unit costs down but still rent them at a higher price point relatively speaking. you are arguing one asset class. build a new hotel anywhere in America on any soil it's better than any apartment complex you can own. lower cost per sq ft than type 1 buildings and higher exit. we just ran into that and hotel is way better use after a rezoning application got declined for apartments. hotel is looking much better 

Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score. 80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F#2One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

Hi Shawn,I'm in the same boat you are in right now.

I wouldn't mind not being in a class A area if I was single, but once you have a family it's different. 

Then there's a few classes and two tests you need to pass.

@Patricia Steiner what asset class presents better return than BTC over the past 12 months?

I'm in the same boat.
