@Josue RamosRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

@Jonathan Small government actions have led to an unprecedented 40% increase in the money supply, 50-year record inflation, record increase in interest rates, bank failures, credit tightening, CRE recession, housing affordability issues, mobility issues, inventory issues, and massive impacts to the world economies, every investment class, and our families, kids, and friends like never before. 

In fact, I would estimate that it is mostly upper middle-class folks that have the money and wherewithal to go through the vacation rental process - prepayment of substantial monies, etc.If you only have one property, I would just stick with Venmo, CashApp, or Paypal.

If they Wanted to stay inside a duplex within class A+ neighborhood?

With rates coming down should help some sellers off load over priced properties and will help buyers get aggressive with good class A and B locations.

What is the appreciation, condition, community, class level and vacancy rates?

@Amanda Bradley Tenant sounds like typical Class C with a credit score under 620.How hard was it to find this tenant?

Look into asset classes with stronger cash flow, such as small multifamily properties, short-term rentals, or mobile home parks.

Hiring a financial advisor is something I still have not done as well, I’m in the same boat I was in when I posted.
