Right now, the system tends to create an environment where even lousy agents generally can't screw things up.

If you limit yourself to Class B or Class A areas it just doesn't seem to happen.

If you want to cash flow 200/mo in a class b location, you most properties to have 100/mo cash flow so your deal gets you to 200/mo.In the end, I think you will have wished you bought in Austin but good luck either way.Ps In before someone recommends colombus ohio.

I've not invested in CA, and I'd enter that market extremely cautionsly based on various rent control issues, eviction issues, and the political environment seems to be very unforgiving for landlords. 

Are there any B and C class safe neighborhoods to recommend?

Depending on the current environment and competitiveness of the market it can sometimes be hard to find the same yield for the same risk. 

The main differences we've seen from B class to C+  is longer days on the market, more phone calls answering the same questions that already posted in the advertisment, more teenage youth in the area and so on.
