I have seen so much growth in Columbus when it comes to appreciation and job opportunities which I have experienced.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Could be the tenant is not using the service, doing something to attract roaches or the exterminator isn't doing their job.

I know that you do a great job smoothing out any "rough spots" in the lending process, so that certainly helps when the deal starts to go sideways...
