Jay's comment at the start of this thread is the most succinct and accurate assessment of D class properties you can make: 80-90% of investors will fail.I bought, self-managed, and leased out dozens of D-class doors in Hartford, CT for 4 years after the peak of the last real estate crash (2008ish) while working a full time job.
