What is the AVERAGE C class rental like in this neighborhood?

If you are just entering the borrowing environment, then come with as close to a cookie cutter project as possible. 

@Tanner Sortillo Recommend they first figure out the property Class they 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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

And to go for appreciation if you're going to look out of state, meaning don't buy cheap Class C properties OOS for the "cash flow on paper".

You will get comments here that steer you towards A class properties - or C class.

You might be able to find a local handyman or painting company that has someone on their staff who is really good at blending things in.If you're looking for a first class repair, someone like that is as good as gold.Good Luck!

The one concern would be the class of neighborhood and financing limitations (much less options for financing)

Soo in the class I am reviewing they are teaching us to undercut deals brought by brokers, but once we refi a property and pay off our partners wouldn’t we simply become the very targets that we were after 5 years ago?
