I would try to verify the negative information and if in fact true, then it would be a pass for me.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Would there be a certain area that may impact the business positively or negatively? 

Raising equity can be the most challenging aspect of closing a deal.

The old adage is true in real estate as other aspects of life - if it seems to good to be true it probably is. 

Hi Randall-Congratulations on buying a rental property well back in 2020.I am sorry to hear the property is now cashflow negative $200 a month.Your question is should you sell or continue to keep it with the negative cashflow.Depends on your personal goals and if being negative $200 a month plus any unexpected repairs or vacancies is affordable to you, but if you can solve the negative cashflow by turning the property into a furnished mid-term rental, for example, your future self may thank you.To Your Success!

I think this will correct itself over the next 3 - 5 years but it will make cashflow tight or negative until then.I have a great contact of a Realtor that works primarily with investors who has represented a few of my borrowers that I can share with you.

Just walk away if you sense they won't let you investigate any aspect of the property you wish to.

On the negative side no one wishes to rent long term here!

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)
