In my experience, success in D-class areas almost always requires being local, extremely hands-on, and self-managing.

Be a pro, be honest, be fair, be consistent, communicate, and you'll do well from an investor's perspective. 

But I will be honest, the rentals I have been added the last 2 years here in DFW have negative cashflowed.

I just shook my head and honestly lost respect for them.

Honestly, I never fully understood what they meant—until recently.I’ve been diving into some larger-scale real estate projects, specifically in commercial properties and multifamily development.

People even do this in Vancouver though it must be extremely challenging.  

SDIRA has been extremely accommodating in the setting of an eviction that occurred because the manager that they previously used neglected to tell them.

This thread is extremely interesting!

I'll be 100% honest.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.
