@Zach Howard some copy & paste advice below:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

It certainly can be done, but it will kill your reputation in a small asset class/market, if you go under contract, but don't close.

One thing to understand about real estate as an asset class is that it is a depleting asset, meaning there is only so much of it (think oil).

Quote from @Greg Kasmer: @Jay Hinrichs - What type of asset class do you target with property radar?

I like the asset class IE not C class in the deep south.

Don't forget the gurus selling the classes - another 98% group that will happily take your money (and probably makes more from selling classes than their RE investments).

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

If you've been a victim, go over to lendbasetookmymoney.com and submit the form so that the attorney can determine if this is considered a class action lawsuit. 

But if they don't willingly make the payment your only option would be to sue, and they have the upper hand to let the lender know about the sale possibly triggering DOS.
