Quote from @Melissa Nash: Quote from @David Abbate: Quote from @Melissa Nash: To clarify- if I am buying a property finished- (turnkey) at market value I can cashflow and average of 9-12% year 1 on a B class property and I am not at 1%, If i wanted to buy a finished property in a C/D class then I can get to 1% rule.
