@Jeff SkinnerRecommend 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?

The majority of them are in the grind and are not at a place where they have millions of disposable dollars where they realize that buying one more profitable investment won't have a huge positive impact in their life.

@Ram Gonzales IMO, the funding of such a structure is probably better directed towards "social impact" or "community development" investors.
