@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info: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?

Based on the quality of this particular home, my rent estimate may be low.Note: you have to consider other factors.

It's really tough finding a reliable and honest contractor who does quality work.

Every customer is assigned to a group of team members there and I imagine each team varies slightly in quality given the human element!

It took a long time and renovation to get it back to where it was.This is our first investment property and it’s just gone so poorly.

Now the management and integrity of handling the money that's again another issues .. so if you have questionable collateral and poor management this end result is not a shocker at least to me..
