This can be a city or neighborhood.We manage a lot of Class C properties in the City of Detroit, so previous evictions are common.We typically do NOT allow within the last 3 years and we want to see stable employment, income and no other major credit issues since.For Class B rental we're looking for no evictions in last 5 years.Class A, would be at least 7 years.Of course, there are exceptions to all of the above for extenuating circumstances the applicant is willing to provide acceptable documentation for.

After 45 years investing across many asset classes, many investment types, and everything from lowest risk to outright gambles, I think I finally know the answer.The biggest divide is between investments in which operational control over that investment is with the investor, and investments in which control rests with another party.
