You want the highest quality tenant as possible & those two intangibles we find makes a difference. 

Simple touches like fresh paint, landscaping, and clean walkways can make a big difference.Highlight Key Features: During the appraisal, point out any high-quality materials or unique features you've added.

Hi Srikanth, I’ve been investing in Cleveland neighborhoods with a similar focus, targeting properties that align with appreciation potential while attracting quality tenants.

Now let's look at Quality based on grade of wood.There are primarily two different terminologies and methods to grade Quality. 

@Thomas FarrellRecommend 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?

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

If you think that the forums and the books have the same information and the same quality, do you read books at all?

What you can't do remote is get a sense for the neighborhood and asset quality.

These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors.

Some key qualities to look for include:- **Responsive communication**: A PM company that keeps you in the loop and addresses issues promptly- **Local expertise**: Knowledge of the Birmingham market and experience with Section 8 tenants.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.
