Is your rental C/D class where it can only attract a lower class more difficult kind of tenant to manage?

Even looking back at the C/D section 8 type properties I owned at the start of my investment journey 10 years ago, those tenants weren't sophisticated enough to find me anyway even if I gave them a reason to (which I didn't).

Also, if I had no desire to at least take time to  see it, Id make life simple and invest in a CD or high yield fund. 

@Jay Hinrichsundefined some markets are just too hot and have too big of players chasing what little land there is and if your going to get anything you have to close..

His family is a major player in the affordable housing market and new developments.

I got un-renewed by my old ins and rejected by almost all ins companies (except for some crazy ones quoting me 10k/year) on my primary house, which is far from any fire zone but I had 2 claims on my 2 rentals (I am a small player so under my name not LLC) in the past 3 years so I got fked. 

Meet the players. 

I love thinking about it.Instead of sitting in a CD at 5% interestThey got 12%, and helped revitalize an area. 

Remember, C/D located properties generally appraise once improved for significantly more than they will actually sell in an arms length transaction so you can go to many C/D neighborhoods, successfully complete the BRRRR method but deal with  all of the operational difficulties of the asset class and then fail to achieve a sale figure remotely close to the favorable appraisal  that allowed for the proceeds to be returned through the refinance.
