Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend 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?

Have to agree with most here in that a SF-> duplex conversion needs some really specific qualities to be worth the squeeze.

I also got great value from a very expensive course on how to properly buy & manage residential real estate.Regardless of cost, the ones that offered low value were the ones where the founder wanted to sell education as their main business. 

But if you have a low LTV, it's not likely an issue anyway.

By systematizing these areas, you can shift from a reactive approach—where deals dictate your strategy—to a proactive model that generates high-quality acquisitions with reduced risk.2.

Cleveland and Dayton can be great markets for high cash flow and low purchase prices, but you need to be careful when navigating the neighborhoods so you're not buying in a D/F class area where no property managers will manage and where you'll never see any positive cash flow.

Don't get me wrong, there have to be some good groups out there, I'd think it has more to do with the leadership and true educational goals of the group and the quality of instructors and guest speakers than what guru might show up. 

Although I wouldn't suggest this and you don't need to do this, most lenders have a due on sale clause and this could be triggered (altough low probability) when transferring title out of a borrowers name.
