But I've been renting class C in NY for ten years. 

The LLC issue is insignificant compared to the buying Class C section 8 or possibly Class B in an unknown area. 

Diversifying your portfolio across different asset classes can help manage risk effectively.Stay calm during market volatility and don’t let short-term fluctuations derail your strategy.

What class of tenants will this property attract? 

The short version is if you go with the Midwest or the Southeast, stick with Class A or B for appreciation.

These are all solid B class SFR almost all are big enough that most of my tenants are families.

Nothing is the top niche because it's highly dependent on what you are interested in, who you know in that class, what your goals are, and how much money you have to invest in your education and/or assets.In general, no one new to investing should start with mobile home parks just from an operations and capital standpoint.

The free rent you gave him could have covered the cost of you taking property management classes so you can do it yourself. 

Eager to learn about RE tax write-offs, how to document/keep up with expenses, what can be written off, etc. at this point...However, the 3 RE focused CPA's I've visited with want $5,000 annually for a couple hour sessions a year and a few recorded classes and other resources, which does not include tax preparation. 

I had my guy put 1st class postage on the envelopes so I would get the piece back if it was undeliverable and I could update my list.
