Also, when it comes to enforcing the lease, use a simpler approach.

I’m curious to hear how others are approaching their 2025 planning.

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.

The idea is to find a pocket or neighborhood that offers the right combination of estimated ROI and rental demand, giving a balance of cash flow and tenant demand.In my view, this approach provides a more reliable signal of demand than relying solely on pricing adjustments or short-term market trends.

How long are you planning to do this approach?

However, i've never really seen the logic in taking those paths when you can just take the safe and slow approach. 

Both approaches have merit.

Most stop their analysis at LTC leverage which is a flawed approach.

I want this to become a rental property and would like to begin investing in real estate, I am not sure best approach.
