.+ I’ve surveyed the forum a lot about which are the good parts in Toledo to invest (different people’s views on A, B, C class areas etc.) and I can say that my properties are located in good neighborhoods (one is B class, other one is like A-, B+ish).

I'm mostly buying value add properties in Sacramento, focusing on Class A and B locations.

@Chris Good logically, it depends on the Class of the property/tenant.Class A property/tenant: annually BEFORE lease renewal, to make sure they are taking care of the property and you want to renew.Class B property/tenant: at least annually, maybe bi-annually depending on "vibe" from tenant.Class C property/tenant: at least bi-annually, maybe quarterly. 

And while ultimately I'd like to have a multi unit of my own that I actually house hack, for now I get to live in a first class building (maintenance free) on a non-first class budget.

But based on a couple office buildings in the same zip code I pretty familiar with that rent seems high for that class of office.

Then use the Class field for each of your rental properties and a general real estate agent class. 

This, combined with long hours of chasing leads, cold calling, and “persistence” (“it takes 7 no’s to get to a yes”) was the formula shown by Hollywood, taught in classes, and written about in bios.Back many years ago I met a young man who was interested in investing in one of my real estate syndications.

It's a B class LTR townhome.  

Like John said above, it's more challenging to get cash flow in A class areas like many of the north side neighborhoods but the appreciation can be pretty nice.

I may be paranoid but it really feels safer to me to see buyer / seller in front of me with the attorney in charge, for some bizarre reason, when a person who had an online $100 or less class to become a public notary has the seller / buyer sign legal documents, I don't feel it's a safe way of verifying their identity and generally speaking I feel conducting these large deals with a table closing when all parties are present is way better.. or at least choose an agreed third party to verify identity of all parties (like a different law firm) is that just me being paranoid or is it a legitimate scare?
