@Sam GuptaRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

You have convinced me to sign up, please stay active on BiggerPockets and use it to be best in class so I don't regret my decision.

Use something like ATTOM API to get historical sales snapshots, or just all the historical sales of the property class for a metropolitan area. 2.

You can house hack too while doing this too to really speed up how fast you can scale.Finally, I'd caution you against dipping into the C class neighborhoods.

You don't need acronyms for everything, you need to figure out what asset class is attractive to you and why.

Entirely different class and many rules and regulations will have to be followed to maintain commercial units.

Licensable vacation rentals are obviously in high demand and offers can become quite competitive, I don't have any formal statistics but I'd say a quality active or eligible vacation rental sells at least twice as fast as a non STR property, the majority within days..My best advice to investors shopping for a hot or high demand asset class is:- Prepare & Practice: Get your ducks (GO UO!) 

@Thomas O'DonnellI'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and have a SFH rental in the Indianapolis area (suburban Class A neighborhood but I bought it almost 10 years ago when prices and interest rates were lower) - that was the best purchase I've ever made.

Those were all C class mid west stuff..

There are no university classes that will teach you how to do that.Good Luck!
