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 purchased a townhome in Fort Mill, SC (Lancaster County) in July 2023.

Quote from @Yash Shah: Hello everyone,I'm new to this group and would love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of purchasing a corporate or bank-owned home.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Keep in mind, it would be in your best interest to go for as high as 4 units on each purchase to maximize your door count. 

.- Bulk Purchases & Portfolio Acquisitions: Banks and hedge funds often look to unload non-performing assets in bulk.

Brokerages would fight for purchasing such info.

The idea is simple: purchase a property, live in one part, and rent out the rest to offset your mortgage or even generate profit.
