It was only within the last 30 years has the upper middle class incomes start to spread out of the lake.  

Back then, I het a class B property for $90,000 that rented for 1k/month and my ou might be looking at $120,000 to $130,000 for the same house.

Buildings are old and mostly C class and newer and in B class are substantially higher in price and not much cash flow but appreciate more. 

I'm married, have three kids, and I live in an upper-middle class type suburb with the lawn and the white picket fence and it costs so much these days to keep a family there, it makes me worry about the future for my kids. 

There are currently tenants on a month to month in the upper and lower.

For someone in my situation, is it better to purchase a Turnkey property or a fixer upper using the BRRRR strategy?  

Are you looking to buy fixer uppers in Columbus, GA?

So it's probably an expensive job IF I'm even allowed to do it.I'm house hacking this property by living in this basement and renting the upper rooms so I can prolong the decision for a year.

Vacancy and maintenance factors should be higher than for Class A or B.

C class investing, B class light value add, BRRR, etc... once you do that they will put the properties in front of you that fit your strategy.
