that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Make sure to communicate your BRRRR strategy with your insurance agent so they can recommend the right coverage for each phase.I learned this lesson the hard way: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/853/topics/1222933-my-b...

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

I don’t care if you steal a property, high quality tenants will never sacrifice on being safe and feeling safe.  

The majority of the messages are requests for early/late checkout, recommendations, and misc items.  

@Jacob W. land market in FL is highly competitive.

High interest rates are deal killers IMHO.

This is (1) not something I'd recommend to a beginner, and (2) not something I've been able to do yet. 

This normally would not be an issue but the cost of the water/sewer is extremely high in this area and specifically because the meter is a one inch, the costs are much higher than a normal 3/4 inch on a non-duplex. 

If you want to go further, you can use a service like Safely or AutoHost to run background checks.For payments, I’d recommend using a platform like Stripe or Square—they’re secure and easy to set up.
