Looking forward to being part of this community!

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?

I’ve been doing fairly well with my purchases and they are appreciating nicely.

I'm a big fan of the Spring Branch area for being in the path of progress and future appreciation.

I would be open to a fixer upper. 

Machias Savings Bank as well.

We require them to provide us copies of their licenses and be added to their liability insurance before assigning them any work.

I also assume you’re investing in an area with increasing rents so look at 3-5 years out with increased rents an it better cashflow well if rent isn’t stagnant. 

The duplex is rented well under market rate ($600 on each side. 2-bed apartments), and the fourplex has two rented units on the lower half well under market rate ($475 on one side, $600 on the other also 2-bed apartments). 

Focus and consistency are going to be your best friends.Also, I wouldn't tackle buy-and-holds right now unless you currently have a high cash flow revenue stream in place.
