Chris Rogers New member from SWFL, interested in Valdosta, GA markets
25 June 2024 | 6 replies
@Chris Rogers higher interest rates have caused most Class A property purchases to NOT cashflow for an approximate 3-5 years.So, many naive investors are chasing Class B, C & D properties to cashflow, WITHOUT fully understanding the scope of the additional risks involved:(Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Quote from @Ryan C.: Quote from @Percy N.: If your market and listing allows for automatic escalating offers ($250 above best price of highest other offers, up to X) then you can get around this and the clause is written such that they have to show you the other offers once your offer is accepted by them.

A.J. Chesney buying a property with existing tenants?

I also recommend talking to the tenants if you can, so you can find out if there are any issues with the unit (such as, "the landlord said they were gonna fix the a/c but they never did" - if you're buying it in winter, you may not think to check the a/c).Tenants always wait to see how a new owner will act so they can see what kind of leeway they will get with things.

Could be CLass A, but you didn't share what the ARVs are.Most investors finance 75-80% of a purchase or do a cashout refi to BRRR it.Class A properties are almost impossible to cashflow with, especially with +7% mortgage rates.Class B, you're lucky to cashflow these days, but can do it if you buy wisely.Class C is what many investors are focusing on currently as they can cashflow from day 1, even with +7% mortgage rates.The challenge is most investors targeting Class C for cashflow, don't take into account the corresponding lower-class tenants and all their associated challeges.
