@Tayvion Payton I have managed many properties in neighborhoods like this.

Our downtown isn't big, but each neighborhood has a different feel, and we have affordable suburbs if you want to be close but not IN the popular areas.

What neighborhood is this in?

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

It will hit hard on renewal and shopping for a new carrier.

The city itself is established, older neighborhoods, better city amenities (museums, arts/music etc), more pro sports, more hills, bigger river, has a streetcar, arguably better nightlife overall.

Some clients who are more aggressive will invest in B-/C+/C class areas in Dayton 1-4 units and get A LOT of cash flow, but incur risks of evictions, expensive turnover renovations, and general C class neighborhood headaches.What are you looking to achieve?

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

Shop around.
