I'm wondering if you can help advise on this situation.My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.

Property is on an acre lot so units are separated and very private making it a great house hack.Located next to Benderson Park which makes it a great location for STRing the guest house.

Location How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

With syndications many operators are using finance magic to juice returns, but that can result in full wipeout on the investors.

@Chase AlexanderRecommend 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?

If anyone has any questions about specific locations within the Lehigh Valley, just let me know.Best,Jeremy

It's a range and depends on the property type, location, end condition and rental strategy.
