I agree with the comments above.Most important is a fully furnished, comfortable property with the basic amenities: coffee, teas, functional kitchen (all utensils, spices, cooking and baking, etc.)

.: @Zeke ListonDo you think investing in property values from 120-180k in upper class c neighbourhoods is a achievable for my first OOS?  

@Sakib KhanRecommend 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?

Here are some of the more longstanding discussions that may help to answer your questions.Specifically at Rent To Retirement, we operate a turnkey marketplace that focuses about 90% on A class, new construction properties located in growth markets.

Again i believe it is my best estimate of actual sustained maintenance/cap ex in my market.I did an estimate about 1,5 years ago on a emerald coast 3/2 condo with class a interior finishes and came up with $300 for just the interior (class a finishes cost more).  

Properties like the Michigan complex offer a unique entry point, combining cash flow and significant upside potential.Immediate Cash FlowThis particular property is projected to deliver 6% annual cash flow from day one, already exceeding the yield of Treasuries.Value-Add RenovationsThe property includes hundreds of units that can be upgraded to Class A finishes, justifying rent increases.

I'd rather lose 100 bucks a month in a class A area than make 200 in a class D. 

1) They naively expected Class A results from the Class B/C/D property they bought.2) They didn't do enough market research to even know they bought a Class B/C/D property.3) They didn't do enough due diligence on the members of their team: agent, PMC, inspector, etc.

On other side of coin, doing AAA; A-class assets, A-class tenants, A-class area.....

I am more likely to go with used kitchen appliances on a C class rental than a nice B class rental. 5.
