There are so many C+ changing to B and beyond neighborhoods now in the city where a $130 - $150k price point will get you a +positive cash flowing SFH with growing equity in a city that is in a having a rebirth. 

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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hello Ashish, as H-1B visa status doesn't permit in active jobs other than their employer. .

A good deal to you could be a bad deal for someone else, and visa versa.

.- We have busy but well paying jobs and don't like to spend time in building sweat equity (BRRR, flip), so will take a slightly low maintenance approach and buy relatively newer properties in B class neighborhoods and use property management for day-to-day operations.Goal:- To get to $10K/month net profits with real-estate (today's currency) in 15 years when we plan to retire.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

If you have a plan A and a plan B going in you are setting yourself up to fail right away because you have told your minds already it won't work so you won't put your all into plan A.

I would advise the latter.Do not listen to Andrew B.

This can be a city or neighborhood.We manage a lot of Class C properties in the City of Detroit, so previous evictions are common.We typically do NOT allow within the last 3 years and we want to see stable employment, income and no other major credit issues since.For Class B rental we're looking for no evictions in last 5 years.Class A, would be at least 7 years.Of course, there are exceptions to all of the above for extenuating circumstances the applicant is willing to provide acceptable documentation for.

It does look like our instructor (I couldn't clearly make it out b/c I can't find an enhanced picture anywhere).
