I keep it as a general business expense and don't assign a property (class) to it. 

Class D is too risky for us, given this is our first venture in 5+ MFH.

Lets learn about the asset class and why it was invented in the first place.

With this comes additional transactional costs that are more likely to present themselves in this asset class than other price point SFH's.

It's middle class, low crime, clean & zoned in one of the top desirable High schools. 

@James WangThere are a lot of different kinds of asset classes.

@Megan Mason recommend you watch some of the videos from @James Wise youtube channel on S8 evictions.We've been dealing with S8 tenants for over 20 years and they are NOT a cure-all for rent collection challenges.Since rents in Class A & B areas exceed S8 limits, most of your S8 rentals are going to be in Class C/D areas. 

I am interested in investing in something a bit more passive as I am getting older and, while I love the real estate asset class, I do recognize the need for multiple streams of income. 

Meet with brokers and other professionals in different asset classes.

At 7.8%, for an asset class like real estate, you want to be the lender and not the borrower...
