Hi Corazon, this is how I would think of class A, B, C neighborhoods:Class A neighborhoods are the prominent areas where everyone wants to live, your most expensive houses, gated community, high end homes, high price points, great school districts usuallyClass B neighborhoods have more rental houses, up and coming neighborhoods with lots of flips, you may also see yards not as nicely kept up, starter home neighborhoods usuallyClass C & D neighborhoods are mostly rental areas, more run down or empty houses, street by street, more crimes in the area, lower prices to purchaseThe classes usually has nothing to do with the age of the house.  

@Zander Kempf I just finished creating our starter course because there are good options out there that aren’t about institutional planning and development. 

Are you a person who can connect and teach starters ?

Now to answer your question, I would avoid multi-family as your starter unless its an amazing deal.

Previous generations also had the starter or fixer home strategy.

For starters, I suggest you tune in to the BiggerPockets Podcast and connect with the local lenders and brokers.

For starters, the BiggerPockets Podcast is a valuable resource for learning.

I waited another month and a half....no activity, so we lowered the price to $59k.I received my first cash offer at $50k on 9/25/2023At the end of October 2023, the tenant moved out and I was suggested to leave the property vacant to sell as a starter home.

I am good at the paperwork required and a self starter.
