These areas tend to attract more reliable, long-term tenants who are usually more financially stable and take better care of the property.

One of the biggest challenges of investing in Rustbelt cities is knowing where to invest and properly understanding the cooresponding pros & cons.Here's copy & paste advice we share to help to address this challenge:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

If you are looking at nationwide, maybe narrow it down to 5 or so markets that interest you and look good financially. 

If you believe you will be financially ready to build a year from now, perhaps you enter into a lengthier contract where you can obtain all of your building approvals and then settle at a later date.

Prioritize your financial stability.

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

That argument wont get you far in court .

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

While I haven't personally experienced any negative impacts from this fraudulent listing, I'm concerned that it could mislead potential renters and cause them financial distress.
