You might pay for someone else’s vacation or new boat, but I don’t see how it helps you or your family. 

Deals are everywhere, All the best  Agreed for those that want to risk D class inner city rentals there is never a shortage of those in any major metro that I have worked in from  Chicago , Cleveland, KC  Philly Balt  jackson MS Birmingham  St.

@Corey BlakeRecommend 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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I didn't know if there was a "go-to" or a good starting point in this asset class.

I live in the Cincinnati Area and looking to focus on single family residents and I think class A/B rentals?

My plan is to start out by purchasing Single Family Homes (SFHs) in *C* class (and above) areas with a budget of $100K-$200K all in, with the goal of buying, rehabbing, renting, and repeating (BRRRR strategy) for long-term holds.

Here's a few things I learned from MFIN that I think apply to the greater BP community• Multi-family and large investors are in the SAME BOAT that we are in as small-time investors.

For a building that size I would expect they would have had someone like a John Burns or someone else provide a report to understand the comps and current absorption rates and vacancy rates for this class of building.Now that you have invested, it cannot hurt to go out and view the property but what are you trying to accomplish by visiting ? 

Larger companies charge more for smaller property classes. 

(Please correct me if I'm wrong)I'm looking to purchase in B class (or better) area, preferably better.
