They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Example - borrower uses loan to purchase a home in a B or C grade neighborhood for 380k, spends 50k rehabbing primary home, uses 200k to put an ADU in the back, appraisal comes back at 925k.

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

I'm looking at Class B properties in up-and-coming neighborhoods and plan to self-manage once I relocate.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

A few things that newer investors should note:- it took 13 years to get there, you have to be patient- rents are high at about $1,750, so probably a quality neighborhood- looks like that is after vacancies, probably low turnover?
