I worked for the number 2 ranked property management in Texas and decided to venture out on my own.

I'm really restraining myself like a decent human being because I could get really barbaric on you right now.ANYWAY... let me return to the ranks of the normal people and provide my opinion on this post.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

If you're not sure who to hire as a leasing agent, I like to check the CoStar Power Broker Award Winner rankings or try to find a list of top leasing brokers in your city.  

Chances are you may not choose to rent in riverside or Ortega unless you can afford private but with this open enrollment coming now a family could rent in riverside and drive over the river to get their child to a higher ranking school. 

I am going to list the name of the city    please everyone spare some of your valuable time and rank those city with star ( 5 star would consider the best ) This will help all of us for making some good decision for your RENTAL INCOME CASH FLOW!
