 @Tylere WeaverI am located in Granville/ Glens falls, NY area (Washington County) 

I am not going to move into a dormitory style house and raise my two year old in a location with poor schools and incredibly dense housing, unless I have no other option. 

Location? 

@Ethan Slater here's some info 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 property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The restrictions vary by location, but they can impact guest satisfaction and demand.

@Richa WardhanHey Richa, I am located in Gainesville and have 5 properties here.

Many of those locations I can purchase using leverage and achieve better returns.
