@Joseph Opoku Yeah you can still get positive cash flow from day 1 in pretty much all areas except the A class neighborhoods.

@Jai Windish I don't know the neighborhoods of Peoria, but what about something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1025-N-Uni...?

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $55,000 Triplex in SE Cleveland (D+ neighborhood)Purchased for 90 and saw 105 for valuation. 25% down plus closing costs and unit repairs has led to about 50-60k going into the deal.

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.

The other is a smaller operation which does a lot of business in the specific neighborhood the house is in.  

However, if you bought the ugly house in an "A" neighborhood.

For a while I looked into medium size deals like 30-50 units in class B neighborhoods, but ultimately could not negotiate a deal to the point where it would have made financial sense.

We are here to help each other grow.Goodluck
