@Ethan Slater here's some info we hope you find useful:Recommend 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?

Mary Jay Cash flow is a myth? Property does not cash flow till its paid off?
19 February 2025 | 88 replies
A few years ago one of the investors who had multiple properties in Manhatan Beach CA, then Phoenix AZ, who has been doing it for 30-40 years told me: " A property does not really cash flow till its paid off"Honestly, I am looking at my properties, and half of my properties cash flow anywhere from 800-1k, but the remaining dont cash flow at all..Honestly, I cant say that even those that do cash flow 800-1k per month do not really make a big impact because a tenant moves out, I have to clean/fix, etc.

Do better rehabs.  100% agreed mate,Safety comes in the volume.Something that I've "preached" for many years.It's not worth the time, money or even risk buying 1 or 2 or even 3 properties unless an investor has a growth type mindset and a will to scale to 10+.It's very simple, you own 1 and it goes vacant.That's a 100% impact on your income.You own 10 and 1-2 to go vacant.That's only a 10-20% impact on your income.It's also a very high likelihood that problems will always exist with 1 or 2 properties at any given moment...Plus, such markets (Ohio and Michigan) don't appreciate as much as many others like a Texas and Florida for example.Michigan and Ohio are slow movers and only recently (10+ years later) caught up to some of the other "higher flying" markets from a yearly growth percentage.Much success
