You don't need to pay anyone to learn.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I ran into these gugys personally coming out of the GFC were money was really tough to raise..

They may get paid on the 3rd and need to not initiate a payment until their paycheck hits their account to avoid being overdrawn.I personally have a 5 day grace period and rent is considered paid when the transfer is initiated.

If you watch the market every day for a couple weeks, you'll quickly learn what is renting and what is sitting on the market.

Even if the owner seems like a really nice person, they will micromanage the builder and not like the specs of the house the builder needs to do, and/or the timing in which the builder gets it done, etc. 

One thing I’ve learned in land acquisition is that the approach has to change depending on the market.

I would love to hear your thoughts and insights and eager to learn and contribute to this discussion.

If you’ve taken one that genuinely helped you grow, I’d love to hear your recommendations.Looking forward to learning from you all—thanks in advance for any insights!

Looking forward to meeting people on here and learning.
