Despite what most of their websites say, the investment grade loan rate DOES NOT equal the primary residence rate :)@Brenden Mitchum covered the Cash on Cash ROI return nicely.

I have a feeling there are many investors on here that have invested in D grade areas that are getting slammed right now. 

That would be what we call 'D' class neighborhoods, and possibly some C- areas too.We grade neighborhoods from A+ thru D- and our clients stick mostly to B, B+, and A- areas because of the demographics and tenant class you find there.

Most are cheap sheet metal sides and back in rural type area or remote towns and have limited growth in dirt value long term and if dollar store ever leaves almost no tenant wants the building because of the poor construction.People buy them because investment grade tenant and it's about the only thing sub 2 million in price in the 6 plus cap rate range.

Depending on the grade of your rental, I’d also highly recommend requiring a tenant with income that is 3x your monthly rent  and credit score of 600 (which will come back through rent prep).

If it is on your listing that you are complying with Covid-19 cleaning or whatever AirBnb calls it, a guest is going to expect hospital grade cleanliness.

@Luca Mastrangelo I have had success fighting water by extending downspouts 4 feet away from the building, installing French drains and a bit of grading.
