Although 2016 looks good for real estate at this point, I wouldn't want to make a bet on it for 2017.

I use an agent to place tenant once placed we handle them in house ... completely different tenant than a C or lower B class who may or may not have a checking account to auto draft from..

So if your answer is yes, then yeah, you have to raise the rent or something, which I bet one day New Hampshire will say "hey, landlords are raising rents just to rid of people.

When I was involved with multi, it was a similar set of rules but the way I got my cash out within the first year was by buying class "C" or less, and rehabbing them into class "B" or better.  

In order to contribute to Solo 401k earned self-employment income must be used, depending on your business structure that could be income on schedule C or wages you pay to your self if you are incorporated.

If you have solid financing in place, don't over leverage, and you are cash-flowing in a C+ or better neighborhood, just hold it and hold it... no reason to sell..

In C or D location, know going in that your interior maintenance will be much higher then A or B rentals.  

Also the area is not the best - probably a C- or so - but I grew up around there so I am familiar with things already.   

Is it more of a C or D class neighborhood? 

Ask if they know anyone (not a company) who can help with the purchase secured by the real estate.When you are asking a few of the investors that you know, I bet one of them will start a dialogue with you about the property.
