Most neighborhoods you will be fine in.

Connecting with other local investors can help you learn the ropes faster and avoid common pitfalls.If you have any specific questions—whether it’s about neighborhoods, property types, or what to expect—I’d be happy to help.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

but the ones in OK neighborhoods need MAJOR, major rehabs to be safe and high quality - think another 50-100K on top of the purchase.
