I'm not trying to deny it happened, because I don't know anything about it, but an article with a subheading "karma's a b**ch" obviously isn't concerned with telling the whole story on anything. 

Yeah man, if you’re looking at a B/C grade 14-unit multi-family and can make the rehab numbers work with your expected ARV/Value based on the income approach, you could see some crazy equity gains much quicker compared to waiting for appreciation on your 4-plex. 

In many years of being a LL, we have had 2 LTRs with heavy damage (and one of those was a B class). 

If the home you are buying is only livable or occupiable with renovation first, the extension could be built into an addendum saying you will close once you get A + B done and you can't get A & B done until workers are back.

You don’t want to pay “B+” area prices only to realize after closing that you were on the neighborhood border and your property is actually in a B-/C+.

If you have a relationship with them you can do a 506(B) but if not look at a B.

The property is a half rented/half live in duplex purchased last summer and is in a B/C ish neighborhood.  

Send me the addresses I might buy them if they are in a B class neighborhood at that price haha.

@Fabricio Kannenberg  I would echo @Brie Schmidt that budget might be the biggest hurdle if you expect to find something in a B class area.

Will Class A/B type tenants be more affected as the need for higher paying jobs requires higher level of training or lengthier hiring processes?
