We have multiple properties in the Horn Lake area of MS and we are wanting quotes for Landlord Insurance. 

Think across the river or highway from the East End, or south/north of downtown in neighborhoods that have easy access to the city and walkable downtown areas.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.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.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Sounds like your agent wasn't experienced enough in the area.

That would be the key element + no rental restrictions Ramsey,Do not forget there are a ton of REI properties in areas not close to the beach or in a flood zone in Florida. 

Interested to hear from both seasoned pros, and people who got into this area of investing recently.....

We are proactively purchasing BTR's in Ward, Cabot, Jacksonville and Benton areas.

@Eric McClintockCongratulations on your success in the DMV area.

This would be my second purchase in the Pittsburg area.

Of course, you need to choose your areas and decor wisely, so I recommend working with someone experienced who knows what the clients there are looking for.
