Some operators I’ve talked to swear by Class B and C deals but have almost zero eviction issues because of how they structure their tenant relations and lease agreements.

I had over 200 sfrs in jackson proper all C and D class U want to think they are B s  but not really in all but one area of the city of Jackson and a ton of section 8.. those were a nightmare..

For rentals, we are looking for a good balance of mild cashflow and appreciation in B and C class neighborhoods. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

It is supercritical to do this ahead of time to have a plan A, B, and C.

If you're looking for a Cleveland duplex in a C Class neighborhood with $120ks as your purchase price, you are looking at properties with deferred maintenance.

The average duplex cost near Canton Ohio in Grade C-B areas are about 220k.

I don't like them because a) they make lousy coffee  b) the pods are wasteful (I know you can buy reusable pods but imagine how often they get accidentally thrown away) c) they are notoriously difficult to keep clean.
