Go to the neighborhood at 2 in the morning and see what is going on.

I live in San Francisco and bought a triplex in Cleveland, Ohio in a Class C neighborhood. 

Purchase price: $925,000 Cash invested: $200,000 13 Unit Multifamily property in the Waveland neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa. pre-acquisition: 7% under MR and 15% vacancy/bad debt.

style of housing??

One time his new pacifist style was ridiculed by an unmannered ruffian who challenged him to show off the new style.

The real estate closest to campus was previously the most marketable real estate for  students  who wanted live off campus, but now many are living in different neighborhoods (Center City, Fairmount, Manayunk, Fishtown/Northern Liberties).

And try not to over idealize like A class neighborhood/new build. 

I'd love if the property would cash-flow after we move out, but the neighborhood and appreciation potential is the biggest concern for me.

Pretty tough to get a B home in a nice neighborhood to meet the 2% rule. 

These GPs have a great interest in keeping their potential LPs (marks) ignorant so they will be protecting those interest mob style (dealing with rats).
