For example, A-class areas might become oversaturated with rentals or experience events that reclassify them as B or even C-class, while areas previously considered as C can rise to B or A status through new investments and revitalizations.Thus, the choice between prioritizing equity or cash flow isn't always clear-cut.For novice investors, I typically recommend starting with A/B areas due to their relative stability and lower risk, which makes them safer but often with less upside potential.

Attractiveness to Renters: Renters often prioritize convenience, and having that extra half bath can make the property more appealing, especially for families or roommates.

In my experience, inspections are typically about safety, not whether something is up to code (that's what the town building inspectors are for). 

DEFAULTS Tenant will be in default if: (A) the Tenant don’t timely pay rent or other fees and charges they owe; (B) Tenant or any guest or occupant violates this Lease, property rules, or fire, safety, health, or criminal laws, regardless of whether or where arrest or conviction occurs; (C) Tenant abandon the property; ....When Tenant is in default, the Landlord has the option to declare the entire balance (all outstanding balances including but not limited to invoices, rent, cost due to damages/abandoning the property) payable hereunder to be immediately due and payable; the Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and may immediately terminate this Agreement.XVI.

Tenants would learn to prioritize paying rent, abiding by the lease, and taking good care of the unit. 

However, if it becomes clear that the relationship is just an one-sided with no long-term potential, I’ll just simply switch to prioritize other investors who are more ready and need my attention.

Ensuring the safety and security of my guests and property is of utmost importance to me.

The inspection requirements can vary, but properties usually need to meet their safety and livability standards.

We like the safety and security and less work of the smaller portfolio with low risk.
