I'm planning on quitting soon, moving back home for a little and taking a few months in between my next job to pursue my first investment.My rough idea for an investing strategy is:  long-term, not necessarily looking for high cashflow (just want to start building equity), quality deals > amt. of doors, Class A/B neighborhoods mainly for low vacancy. 

I work from Morgantown to Bridgeport, WV, and we have some nice cash flowing areas in A-B neighborhoods.

If you get a B class low risk investment that is predictable, you should be able to refinance is 7-10 years and start your snowball.  

I am currently in Calgary, AB and used to be located in Toronto - real estate in Canada is nuts. 

Sell and if you want to do storage, go further out and do a B/C/D location.d. 

Typically 15% to 20% over the A-B contract price.

One question - how do you determine if a property is Class A, B, C or D?

Any house built in 1979 would have 4 inch, or at least 3 inch, ABS waste lines.

If you can visit, that's great, even if it's just to get a general lay-of-the land.Understand what your goals are and what property classes you're targeting (A/B/C neighborhoods).

Maybe Vrbo is doing more a/b testing.
