@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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 sellers you will be talking to will typically be in a bad situation which is causing them to have to sell their house, and at a big discount.

I appreciate it.Aside from the option to be added as 'additional insured' they have the option to purchase a  "ProtectionPlus Bundle' from Surevestor, which includes several things like protection against eviction costs, wilful damage to property, over a $1 Million third party liability protection, loss of rent protection for 25 weeks etc.This is $50/month.

Most investors on this forum are obtuse to the complicated nature of macroeconomics, cause and effect.

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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?

It’s not advertised, then I deny someone cause I don’t like them for some reason etc.  

@Byoung Bae would NOT recommend an inexperienced investor try to DIY manage OOS anything other than a Class A rental.The odds are against you and you will statistically lose a LOT of money.Read below for some friendly advice:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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?

Also covid was in full swing which caused all kinds of craziness in the real estate market.

So, if the tenant doesn't pay, skips out after damaging the property, and it stays vacant for two months it's OK because you don't owe anything on it.

Sometimes they’ll do rehab without getting the permits from the city which will cause a problem.
