.: @Zeke ListonDo you think investing in property values from 120-180k in upper class c neighbourhoods is a achievable for my first OOS?  

Are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

I am interested in living in the basement, and renting out the upper unit on Airbnb.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $11,500 With the proceeds of the sale of our first fixer upper we purchased this duplex which we moved into one unit and same month purchased another duplex in another town to BRRRR.

Quote from @Alex Lee: I'm looking into buying a massive fixer upper in New Jersey.

I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit.

Of the 2,849 rooms set to open this year, most fall in the upper-scale classes.

The upper level of society works in ways most of us will never understand...it sadly continues to be a back-and-forth thing of reaction...If our country and Chicago as well could take a proactive long term approach, our kid's kids would benefit in a way we couldn't image....

But you should be able to target that upper demographic segment and still move a house in a few months if you are in the correct markets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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?
