Appreciation is not nessesary lower.B houses you can find by good schools rating, low crime rates, and driving by on Friday night feels good - people barbecue, cars parking are good and newer, lawns are taken care extremely wellC is the best for bread&butter to rent: you could buy reasonable low, update it not so expensive and rent it to stable Tenants with good jobs, income etcThese are lower crime rates, less houses for sale and more expensive when you count your numbersD is the risky low income neiborhoods with highest ROI.

This seems like a bigger market than Pacaso's, but what do I know.Obviously establishing the LLC and purchasing homes prime for joint ownership is Pacaso/Ember's "bread and butter" and allows them to already have the home so timing isn't as critical on closing, etc.
