I think a higher class neighborhood is better for a new investor.

@Ali L. actually, in our experience, the problem is investors buying Class C & D rentals expecting Class A results.

You might be surprised at the amount of tax professionals who operate in a virtual environment!

I've been ruminating over the low rate environment recently and whether to refi one or more of my long-term rentals, but I just struggled visualizing the full gamut of financial impacts, e.g. loan cost inefficiency, 30yrs vs 15yrs mortgages, maximizing cash flows vs cash-outs, tax positions, etc.

Currently lower income, but lots of development going on here public and private What class would you consider those areas?

Who teaches the best class on MTR-Mid Term Rentals?

It was a MASTER CLASS!

@Lavette Reid Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Class D neighborhoods pencil out great if you don’t know what you’re doing and don’t mind packing a gun when you go to collect rent every two weeks.So here’s a tip: never invest in a place where you wouldn’t want to live.

@Karl Kauper going to guess your current PMC:1) Is having too many tenant nonpayment issues for your likingAnd/or2) Refusing to share their background checks with you, so you can make your own approval decisions to address #1 above.Several factors may be at play here that you may want to consider before being trigger-happy:1) For several legal and contractual reasons, it's pretty much NOT possible for a PMC to share background checks with an owner. 2) What Class of property do you own?
