Below is some copy & paste info about our methodology:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

I would study the listings from the top performing rentals in your area to see how they are overcoming any challenges with location.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

Timing and location critical Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We source from suppliers that get them directly from the ships - these are normally near port cities (ours is located in Houston, TX).

Hello, I am also located in Toronto and have around a decent sized portfolio in Cleveland.

Opportunity in fantastic location How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I read Brian Burke’s book and concluded I wanted to go with a syndicator who was vertically integrated in all phases and also geographically concentrated such that they were experts in one  location.

Need a home, it needed work, price and location where pretty great.
