@Amir PortalRecommend 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?

-Rent collection and financial management is probably not at the top of the list based on some of the challenges that we hear about, mainly because if you are lucky enough to have solid tenants and low vacancy, this is easy peasy, but if you have some challenging tenants that default on payments, or the possibility of an eviction arises, it can be worth paying a management company to help guide next steps."

While licensed contractors pay payroll taxes, workers comp and a litany of other financial burdens.perspective is everything. 

Happy to post more details on the financials but for starters we owe 1060000 on a 2.25% VA loan. 

Seek guidance from financial advisors or real estate experts if needed, and don't hesitate to continuously educate yourself about the evolving landscape of real estate investments.

For me, it wasn't a book that got me into this but it was a conversation I had with a client while I was a financial advisor working for Merrill Lynch.

Personal criteria, building criteria and area criteria will all affect the way a deal appears on paper. two 100 unit apartment complexes, one in an A area and one in a C+ area will have very different financial breakdowns and interest groups.Want to know if a deal is good (for you)?

I would encourage you to do a deeper dig on the financials and take your own skill inventory in making this important wealth impacting decision.  

This approach will allow you to focus on the financial benefits rather than the day-to-day operational tasks.Additionally, consider how this rental income will contribute to your overall financial picture.
