If it's C Class is it common for properties to get broken into and have furnaces and water heaters stolen?

I am looking for light value-add Class B small multifamily 2-4 units in Houston TX, preferably Friendswood, Webster, Pearland, League City or nearby areas that can be positioned as Mid Term or Short Term Rental.  

That area is considered a D or C class area. 

They (ins co's) wanted our industry (Roofing) to come up with better-longer lasting materials, like Class 4 shingles, so they wouldn't have to pay for replacing shingled roofs so often Fine, it happened. 

What class of neighborhood? 

One of your biggest challenges will be separating all the online fluff from reality.EXAMPLE: several S8 "gurus" have already been exposed as frauds, but unfortunately, they sucked in thousands of investors.You're an engineer, use your education & experience to start building up a logical approach to investing in rentals:)Start with this:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Certain markets have better growth potential than others for each asset class.

Or are those asset classes really permanently damaged?

House hacking a small MF in Denver is a brilliant way to get started and there have actually been some decent deals in this asset class lately IMO.

@Elena Scott you are obviously dealing with Class C/D tenants that don't care about their credit or legal ramifications.
