@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend 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?

Now we're seeing investors pouring money into buying Class C rentals - but, many are getting burned.In our experience & opinion, the main determinant of property Class is not location or even property condition, those are #2 and #3.

Seeing as they are $45-80k properties, we know they are not in good locations which means you should pad your budget more and expect expenses to be higher than normal. 

I will not know that until I climb under the house and into the attic etc... for inspectionThe area is close to things and is not in a indicated crime location and has a very nice open lot area on the corner with it but again assuming the tenants stay and lease I am looking at that as a smaller issue..Thanks for bringing up the concerns but I have tried to do my due diligence but do not really know is the analyzing aspect has missed something major.

However, after receiving the survey results, I discovered that the house is located less than 1 foot over the sublot line (see attached image).Here are the options I’m considering:Rent the current house for market value (~$1,500–1,600/month) and convert the detached garage into an ADU to rent for ~$1,000/month.Relocate the house to split the lot, then sell the newly created lot (~$100,000) while renting out the existing house.Relocate the house to split the lot and build a new home on the second lot.Demolish the current house and garage, split the lot, and build two new homes.At this time, I am uncertain about the cost of relocating the house.Questions for the community:Has anyone faced a similar situation?

Also make sure to build on a property located in a desirable location with larger pop density and if holding for rentals, charge median rent for that market as lenders want to see a bigger pool of buyers/renters available to occupy/sell. 

One location and 4 rents How could you go wrong 

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

I’m ideally looking to buy that first property in San Diego.Thanks The best way to beat the price of the San Diego market is STR or by the room rentals in an excellent location.

In what zip code is the property located?
