On other side of coin, doing AAA; A-class assets, A-class tenants, A-class area.....

Yes the Class feature Cost a bit extra which is a bummer bet the support for it is amazing, and it is easy to allow access for Tax Accountants to pull the reports they need rather than my clients playing middleman. 

@Anthony Sigala that "Rule" was created for mostly Class B properties BEFORE the Great RE Crash of 2008-2010.Values after the Crash dropped so much, that it could also be used for Class A rentals.Values are now more than their pre-crash highs, so the rule now only applies to Class B & C rentals.How are you identifying Class B & C submarkets in your area, so you can properly apply the rule to the right rentals?

@Ezra Avery you might want to read below to understand Classes of Property/Tenants.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.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 property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Makani Donaldson it all depends on your investment goals.If you buy a Class A rental, it'll usually have negative cashflow, which will be hopefully offset with appreciation and better tenants.If you buy a CLass C or D rental, it should have pretty good cashflow because you may not realize much in appreciation and you'll have a lot more problems finding good tenants.

Currently their are many SEC and FTC complaints against them and their will soon be a class action lawsuit.

I have some crypto gains I’m really looking forward to dumping into a more stable asset class and hoping this can help me defer the taxes on the growth. 

FL seems to have reigned in HOAs recently, so who knows what they are allowed to do.I know that in CA, an HOA can ban smoking in units because smoking is not a protected class and the HOA has an interest in the safety & health of the building. 

Real-life reps, to me, means seeing properties in person, whatever your asset class.
