As others have stated, it truly depends on location, culture at the apartment community, market trends in the area, etc.Class C properties typically offer a clear upside with the right business plan.

The culture shock is huge. 

Born and raised in San Diego I'm sure the weather will be a complete culture shock but I'm ready for it!

Pretty well sums up the culture of TX and Houston area.

What I am trying to wrap my head around is the cultural differences not to mention the language barrier.

And they are culturally appropriate to our prospects. 

In San Carlos CA.. and they bought these buy the hundreds and then marketed to Chinese in China.. the owners were Chinese as well.. big show .. big office pictures with Reagon,,, rolls Royce in front of the officeThese are legal lots of record with little to no real value .. but they couch it as this is going to be the next LA....

IMO, using the term investor is misleading when used by an operator, but I understand the English language changes with popular culture, but accounting, tax, financing and business terms do not. 

It's always a big purchase for a homeowner, but I wonder if time and culture will change the preferences of the general public. 

Chinese investors are leaving the $200,000-$400,000 price range in North Texas.
