Mixed-use are retail and residential.

Yield varies a lot depending on the type of property and location. rental yields for residential property are typically between 4% and 5% per annum.Hope this helps!

The equity pay down in many RE classes (residential, storage, hotel/motel, office space, industrial, etc) ispaidby the tenant.- there are ways to never pay tax on gains (1031, owe until death, etc)- cost segregation can in effect have RE acquired at no cost- sweat equity can produce additional return.  

Residential RE is not passive, even with the use of a PM.  

Quote from @Wade Wisner: I lived in north Florida from 2003 to 2008 and did a number of residential and commercial fix-n-flips during that time. 

Class D - worse than Class C with a lot more crime.It was on another post someone said we shouldn't categorize SFH or any residential 2 to 4 units as Class A, B, or C and that classification system should only be used for commercial.

@Carl Rowles get someone over there to document the damages with a ton of pics AND a narrated video - you may need this for any insurance claim.Regarding your insurance, many of the residential insurers: Allstate, Farmers, State Farm, etc., have a clause that makes your policy invalid if the property is vacant for more than 30 days.- Check with your insurance agent ASAP.You'll need to file a claim and get a claim number.Try to get an insurance adjustor in ASAP, so you can start pumping water out, removing all water damaged drywall and get dehumidifiers in. - Note: the insurance company's adjustor will try to minimize your claim amount.

Other than that, the city is largely residential with many jobs focused around providing for those residential needs such as the service industry sector, home repair, construction, etc.

I have been investing in Columbus since 2017, and I have a diverse portfolio that includes residential, warehouse, retail, and office rentals.

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate) AND because you closed personally, you will not have Asset Protection, in the form of closing in the name of a LLC/ LLC taxed as an S Corp, or an S Corp.
