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?

If you have any further questions or need additional details, please feel free to reach out.Thank you for your time.Dana@Dana Lee Fuller I completely understand and as a former Director of Lending for a CDFI in the Midwest that financed the gut rehabs of mostly abandoned 2-4 unit MF properties, I've worked with similar developers that are targeting more of a "social impact" investor base. 

Specifically, I’m interested in understanding the factors influencing land values in this area and any recent trends that may impact the pricing of these lots.

If STRs become less profitable, you need to ensure the property can still generate positive cash flow with a traditional lease.

IMPACT Grapevine is a solid event where you can meet general contractors, subs, and other investors who have done renovations in the Fort Worth area.

@Allen Zhu I think looking at rate only is not a good position.

Quote from @Patricia Andriolo-Bull: At first, I thought I wasn't impacted - yet.  

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

So that could have some positive impact on my ability to find cashflow.
