@Allen Zhu @Bradley BuxtonRecommend 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.

If you're just doing it for the knowledge, take the classes, but no need to get your license.

Im sure going after the city would really only be effective in a civil class action law suit where there is enough people and $$$ on board.Over a 6-12k fix, and battling the city alone you'll spend more money and time IMO. 

Look at 3/4 unit in class B+ areas.

Your cap rate will depend on what class of neighborhood you invest in.

Even in higher class areas, the maintenance/cap ex is often under estimated.

If you're new to this asset class you might want to use 85%. 

Class C/D area so looking to rent out after Reno done3.
