Hi everyone,I've been interested in investing in Canadian real estate for some time, but the price-to-rental income ratio never quite made sense to me.

Quote from @Evan Thomas Andriola: Cleveland investors,What are your thoughts on investing in a property that is currently vacant? 

It assumes the property is Class A - which not a lot of investors are acquiring these days.Here's some copy & paste info about property classes:_____________________________________________________________________________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 property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
