A C-corp makes sense if you can do fringe benefits inside the corporation, and pay for those with pre-tax dollars.

There are fringe areas that are lower priced and areas that have always held well, all within a mile or so.

@Ann S.I work with many different types of investors: Buy & Hold, Rehab & Sell, BRRR, etc. and have personal experience with single family and multifamily investing.Consider these following neighborhoods...but at the same time, there are a lot of macro economic factors that could derail their status...also my biggest advice is to always plan conservatively on your ARV and Comps:- Port Richmond - Kensington - Mantua - Fishtown (almost saturated, hard to find deals)Fringe Up + Coming Neighborhoods:- South South Philly- Strawberry Mansion- Norristown (suburb)Again I would stress it is so important to look at every property on a case by case basis...you make the majority of your money with your purchase price and reverse engineering the after repair value.

I guess you could get lucky and find quieter areas along the fringes....maybe.

I like areas on the fringe of park circle in North Charleston for a mixture of cash flow and potential appreciation.

Not to mention great opportunities on the fringes of gentrifying areas that you can get dirt cheap. 

They are fringe operators working AGAINST sellers.

WEEKS later the first money order was returned to the tenant.His handwriting had gotten so frail and spidery that it could no longer  be read.

I dont want to buy a nice home that is located on the fringes of hell and I think that those two factors can hell to determine that.

@James Brand Philly used to be a much better place to invest 10 years ago, but you have to go further into the fringe to find a deal.
