that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

That’s where the biggest wins come from.Wishing you massive success!

I let it dry, then lay down copious amounts of diatomaceous earth into the gaps to discourage bugs.* Day 4: Maintenance responds to my pest control request by spraying a $30 bottle of Walmart roach spray around the house like I couldn't and didn't do that already. * Day 5: I find a live roach on my windowsill the next morning.Currently: One bathroom is taped shut and not working.

The cost of entry is a bit higher compared to Detroit or Alabama, but the fact that you are grooving is awesome.I would add to talk with your family to discuss the amount of leverage you are comfortable with as you start talking to these new HMLs.

Perhaps there is an opportunity for us to work together.Thanks again for responding.If you're looking locally, I'd focus on markets with a decent amount of activity/inventory so that you have more options i.e.

My managment company has made more than a reasonable amount of attempts to get the HOA to have this repaired. 

Was the amount that you actually invested close to what RTR shows on their listings?

I really like Lease to own option to get into deals without having to take on massive debt.

Baselane has been a game-changer for me, saving a significant amount of time compared to manually tracking everything in Google Sheets.

Then track the date a maintenance issue was reported, description of the problem, who it was assigned to, when it's estimated to be completed, when it was completed, date/amount paid, etc.It doesn't have to be fancy.
