You need to define annual expected yield for your investment and how much headache you want ( active versus passive ).For example you can buy a very nice quad in an A,B area but not much cash flow there.

Purchasing in the path of progress is much more effective than purchasing in A/B+ neighborhoods with good schools.

Hello again, BP.So, I have not raised my rents in roughly three years, but really feel the need to increase rental prices now after looking around.Currently at $1,245 for a 2 bed 1.5 bath 1060 sq ft flat in a B+ to A- location.Should I offer the increased price of $1,445 to the current tenant or remove them for minor renovations before renting back out?

My suggestion keep it simple, try to keep it impersonal, and do not give any A/B options.

We strictly do studios and 1bds in A/B class locations though.

I'm planning a move to Florida and I'm trying to figure out if there's any cities I could pick up a side by side fixer duplex for ~140k (or ideally less) in a B to C neighborhood.

And in my experience if this is a C/D area, your tenant base is more likely to be much harder on the property than an A/B area or tenant base, so your turn over costs could be higher.

Hi BP,I'm looking to purchase a 2-4 unit owner occupied property in an A/B neighborhood in the capital region of Upstate NY.

Lower income / class c/d will almost always pay later then a/b because the tenants are often late so no point paying out early.
