@Anthony Sigala that "Rule" was created for mostly Class B properties BEFORE the Great RE Crash of 2008-2010.Values after the Crash dropped so much, that it could also be used for Class A rentals.Values are now more than their pre-crash highs, so the rule now only applies to Class B & C rentals.How are you identifying Class B & C submarkets in your area, so you can properly apply the rule to the right rentals?
