I have helped dozens of BP members purchase and sell STR homes near Disney.

Wanted to reach out and congratulate you guys on your journey and wishing you the best.

Quote from @Jasmine Thermitus: Hello Everyone,I recently moved from Boston to North Providence and purchased my first property.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below: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 property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
