Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

I want to explore Section 8 as a RE strategyKeep in mind that subsidized tenants can use their voucher in any neighborhood (especially in states like MD where "source of income" is a protected class).

@Mark WalkerCap rates vary by asset class (A, B, C, D), condition, and vintage of the asset and the market, to name a few things. 

Buy something in class B neighborhood or emerging class C neighborhood with higher cash upfront low leverage to ensure you have enough cashflow in worst case scenario and see how it performs.

I don't have any experience with the coaching program at Robert Kiyosaki, but I did go to the the free hotel intro where they upsold a class for $500.

And it's not just content, she keeps you accountable to take action (right-sized each week so it's not overwhelming), and to network with your peers in the program, as well as your circles outside of the program to establish yourself as an investor with integrity to attract quality private money lenders.Key highlights:* 6 weeks with 1 class per week, and some bonus classes - every minute of each class has been worth my time* engaged community members via Circle, many I know I'll stay in touch with* purposefully small group, allowing Soli to provide dedicated attention* having access to Soli - she reviews all posts and homework assignments with great care, and her feedback is SO valuabletools to CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) and systems to scale - ex. pitch deck, email templates, BRRRR analysis, and so much more* practicing your pitch at the end!

It seems like every working class neighborhood has one of these disgusting eyesores. 

This is what I just wrote about in a piece I submitted for publication on how the Gig Economy presents new opportunities to the middle class investor.

I live in Los Angeles and have been investing in St Louis for the past 2 years, amassing 14 doors in A & B-class neighborhoods.

Do you and your partner have the same idea about what a B class area or a C class area looks like?
