I should add here that I only provide detailed cleaning services that properly prepares properties for the owners or next tenants, post-construction/rehab, and for commercial/ offices.

The CFP® certification requires rigorous study and hands-on experience, which you seem prepared to tackle.I've been in the financial planning field for several years now and currently teach aspiring CFPs at Golden Gate University.

every joint venture is different .

Should I prepared for a Duplex or any other multi-family deals to be:1. in Class-B or Class-C neighborhoods only?

If you don't have sponsorship, by definition you don't have a deal - full stop. in some aspects, but but I'd argue in development you have to find land and partners at the same time. you have to have a competitive advantage and local knowledge. may not apply and probably different sectors. we break development up into multiple raises like Series A, Series B, etc in venture debt and discount equity tranches based on what stage the investor comes in for higher returns it's earlier like when we are investing in engineering services etc we recapitalize and spend our money with an equity sale and recapitalization. structured finance is so interesting 

Any other possitive factors  - stable tenant base  - alarm systems  - regular checks on the property  - no pets  - Lead safe certification  - newer roof, plumbing, electric, etc..Anything to balance off the lossesBe prepared that it may end up in a non-standard (surplus lines) market for a couple of years.If you did not have flood coverage before, see if they will continue the current policy if you get Flood coverage and increase the property coverage deductible. 

I was thinking about this again as I am preparing to sell some properties and thinking about what to do with the proceeds.

The better prepared you are, the greater your chances of success.One crucial but often overlooked recommendation for someone your age is to work on becoming bankable before your first deal.
