Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

You'll want to gather the last 2 or three months of COMPLETE bank and brokerage statements...even if you think we don't need to see it...give them to us.

However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

I'm trying to figure out who or where we can send messaging to.

Hey @Keirsha Evans are you a licensed agent looking to get involved in the forums? 

You also want to go to real estate investor meetups to get reps with people who do what you want to do.

To play devil's advocate (and keep in mind I have no skin in this since I'm in a different market):-You want to tailor to investors, then be prepared to sell at an investor price.
