Here's some other copy & paste advice you might find useful:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

This can be a city or neighborhood.We manage a lot of Class C properties in the City of Detroit, so previous evictions are common.We typically do NOT allow within the last 3 years and we want to see stable employment, income and no other major credit issues since.For Class B rental we're looking for no evictions in last 5 years.Class A, would be at least 7 years.Of course, there are exceptions to all of the above for extenuating circumstances the applicant is willing to provide acceptable documentation for.

Delays are typically caused by previous landlords or employers who don't respond to our requests for verification.
