I’d say C+ are working class hoods.

But for now, I'd say keep away from them.I feel bad too, because I got a colleague involved with Homeroom.

Although things will change this year, between HELOCs, 1031 Exchanges, and a Business Partnership, I'm up to 15 doors (including my personal residence) and I haven't done a down payment since 2015.

I'd love to hear what does your criteria deck look like. 

If you want to run numbers on financing strategies, I’d be happy to chat.

I'd love to help!

I'd appreciated any advice or gotchas if anyone has seen something similar.

If you are looking for nice and secure areas I'd recommend looking in the suburbs east of downtown and maybe north or south of the 240 loop.

MTR is hospitality, and I’d think you’d lose potential guests if they knew they had to set up utilities.

My initial plan had been to do something like Rent-to-Retirement or REI Nation- assuming that I'd be leaving money on the table to pay for their expertise, but hoping that I would learn through the process and develop the confidence to strike out on my own later.
