I heard somewhere buy C property in B area and attract A tenants.

You are 100% on the right track. 2-1 buydowns are attractive options offered by sellers/builders to help improve monthly affordability but in all reality you aren't saving anything. 

Attractively priced properties still receive multiple offers, often above the asking price.

But I'm attracted to the asset class, and the possibilities for scaling and financial independence.My time at my current job (almost 15 years of tenure) is winding to a close, and years ago I swore to myself that this would be the last time I would have "a boss".

However, something to consider is that in midwest markets, big multi family properties tend to attract lower quality tenants.

Or you could use the money and go looking for a better property - that would attract better tenants.

It’s time to put yourself out there and start attracting clients.

The rental yields here are also quite attractive—duplexes, in particular, can provide a strong cash flow.2.

Unfortunately it's been very hard to attract investors with such low rental rates and the cost of construction being the same whether you build affordable housing, market housing, or upper middle class.
