1) There is no industry definition of a "war zone", so it will mean different things to different investors.2) Class D rentals are not what most investors think.

I got to ask these investors that I have been following for years industry specific questions .I asked Brian Murray and Brandon Turner market specific questions regarding cap rates.

I have been originating for the past 10 years- and have been in the industry for the last 12 years. 

@Matthew Paul the oil contamination remediation industry is a complete racket.

I currently have a full-time career as a senior engineer in the aerospace industry, but I’ve always been interested in real estate, and I view REI as a way to supplement my future retirement.I’m interested in initially doing fix and flips to build up capital for buy and hold investments in multi-family properties, and I have about $200K in home equity that I can leverage to get started.

However, with our current low interest rate and rental rates for our neighborhood we could also cash flow appropriately $1000 per month, keep it and allow for further appreciation over the next three years until we would need to sell to capture section 121 tax exclusion.

When things go wrong, sometimes the work is not up to par with standards in the industry while other times there are blatant violations of the building, fire, or zoning code.

I’m with The Morrow Wargo Group, and we focus on real estate investment properties, including multifamily communities, in the Allentown area, but we also have experience in broader markets.Connecting with like-minded professionals is key to success in this industry, and I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to collaborate, especially in areas like Lancaster, PA, and Maryland.

Also, look for years of industry experience with the complexities of cost segregation.2.

I have a 6 unit building that I would like to rent to a company in the care industry (Group homes, RTC, Senior living ect.)
