The wrestling and wrangling you would have to do to collect would never be worth your time. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

You can find higher ROI (on paper) here and probably in other cities…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.

At 21, I took a leap of faith and bought my first investment property—a fixer-upper in Hamden, Connecticut.

Collect the difference. 

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

This is the 2ND month the same problem is happening now, we have been with Appfolio for more than 5 years and have about 60 - 80 units collecting rental income through Appfolio and we never had this issue before with the previous Appfolio team.

Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience.
