@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

I agree that you can use a Realtor with a proven track record. 

I am based out of the Santa Rosa Century 21 Office but I cover all of Sonoma County and beyond.My very first purchase was a Duplex where I lived in one unit and rented out the other for rental income.

This does not align with buying most buildings in cash.Once you progress in your investing efforts you may come across more UHNW individuals, family offices and institutions who would take the lower return for limiting risk (all cash deal).

OH is an escrow state, so i would have your agent reach out to the escrow officer and let them know you are cancelling the escrow, and which contingency you are exercising (whether it be appraisal, loan, or otherwise)... and ask when you can expect your EMD back in full.

The attorney general office scanned all the hard copy pages I mailed, attached the PDF file to an email they sent me, saying that they are sharing my correspondence with their Consumer Protection Division.

As General Partners (GPs), we juggle a lot—talking with vendors, negotiating with buyers and sellers, and ensuring the deal stays on track.

The founder appears to have been involved in businesses outside of real estate: ‘My dream is a locally made grooming products business’ | People | nashvillepost.comSo it does not appear there is a lot of track record there, but those are questions I would ask.

I would recommend anyone lending in this environment to fix and flippers or any type of investment to be careful and get a personal guaranty and make sure person has a long track record.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.
