that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!
