My location in mind would be closer than the newest nicer location to town.

Case law: https://cases.justia.com/california/court-of-appeal/2020-a15...In Owens, the landlord owned and lived in a single-family home located in Oakland, California, and rented individual rooms in the home to three unrelated tenants.

What location are you thinking of investing in? 

So I am new to real estate investing - currently don't have any deals or projects. im located in Connecticut - Im a beginner and am looking for experience and knowledge and more information - as a beginner I want as much information as possible with the experience I know a lot of people who start- they network, meet different investors and different people in the real estate world . 

I’m actually surprised there’s not a southeast CT forum location.  

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.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.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Location is critical, so look for areas with job growth and strong rental demand.

Where is it located?

For a turnkey property what is a reasonable cash on cash return expectation for a property located in an "A" neighborhood? 

@Tyler Speelman pretty common in this area (NJ) but I think depends on location.
