Most get in by the a/c unit. 

I can show you some really good stats about it and all of the different sub markets so you know what, in general, is a class A, B, C or worse and what markets to stay away from. 

So you could 1031 from A to B to C to D. 

- I would select a market that allows you to purchase a cheap (under $150,000) single-family in a C+ or better market.

That's separate from actual investing money - the "cover charge," if you will.Wanting to see them in action vs blindly going all-in from the jump w/ RADD IC, my thought process was to get into a c"onsilidated" SDIRA from where other funds were, and knowing those are basically untouchable for quite some time (at least for me), seeing where things went vs. putting in liquid cash from day 1. 

I am looking into a property and was interested in ease of renting, is it a C area?

Which leads us to:2) Are you 100% positive that a) an STR, b) in Florida, c) right now, is the best place to put your hard-earned equity?

No matter where you choose to invest, please keep in mind the following (copy & paste):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Under $200k in Columbus, you’ll probably find single-family homes in C-class neighborhoods.

Quote from @Allan C.: @Kyle Luman I’m not sure if you understand the nuance, but your post made me wonder so I’ll share some insights in case it wasn’t clear to you.
