In my opinion, when an investor uses alphabet classifications, B class should be areas that are above median value, median income, primarily owner occupant and in financially stable areas.  38127 as an area is primarily below median value, income and primarily rental properties and definitely an area challenged for economic development.With that being said, houses in this area are not valued at $170,000 to begin with so expecting $170,000 in appreciation is not practical.
