@Urvesh Patel recommend you focus on Neighborhoods, NOT zip codes.Zip codes are too big and in urban areas, often include Class B, C & D Neighborhoods.For MTR you'll want to focus on Class B, no lower than C+.

For C to B-Larger developments announced nearby-Increased activity in new construction-Building of commercial retail in or near the neighborhood. 

Quote from @Deltrease Hart-Anderson: What are your thoughts on putting new construction in a B+/C- neighborhood?

Solara is a great neighborhood.

I’ve been starting my research by seeing what is being bought and what is on the market, and live nearby so would like to check out neighborhoods, but am wondering which neighborhoods I should invest in?

Hey fellow suburban Illinois BPers - Not sure if this has been sent/shared previously, but thought it'd be good to recap - Chicago Agent Magazine recently reported that suburban Chicago was ranked the second-hottest rental market in the nation (Here’s the article.).This confirms what a lot of us have seen: demand for rentals is really strong in the suburbs right now.

Here are a few to watch out for:Property Condition: Most distressed properties need extensive repairs or renovations, which add to your initial investment.Competitive Market: With Phoenix's popularity among investors, competition for the best deals can be intense.Complex Deals: Foreclosures, auctions, or short sales are much more complicated compared to regular real estate transactions and usually require specialized knowledge.Tips to Successfully Navigate the MarketDo Your Research: Understand the local market conditions, including neighborhood trends, property values, and potential rental income.Build a Strong Network: Work with professionals who specialize in distressed properties-such as brokers, contractors, and legal experts-to make the best decisions.Assess Costs Carefully: Factor in the cost of repairs, holding costs, and any potential financing issues when evaluating a property’s profitability.Be Patient: Finding the right distressed property takes time.

I was broke enough that I couldn't afford rent at my apartment, but fortunately my landlord didn't notice, thanks in part or in whole due to some substance abuse issues.Anyways, when visiting my mom in the neighborhood where I grew up, I had noticed this construction van at a house on our street.

This will give you an idea of the Class of neighborhood.

Jersey City is 70% renters and is ranked as the city with the second highest rents in the U.S. after NYC.
