I invest in B and C class assets in B and C+ class areas.

Akron is not LL friendly, they were the first in NE Ohio to pass a rental registration ordinance (in the 90s), in 2021 added source of income as a protected class - so you can no longer rule out S8 applicants, and passed STR registration last October (and nearly a year later still haven't been able to enact anything).  

In most markets, the market with the highest rent to price ratio is the lowest class areas.

As an accredited investor you have access to hundreds of new potential syndications every month (and crowdfunding deals which are the same thing except are allowed to market on the Internet).You may want to start off on a site like CrowdStreet or FinResi , where you can view the variety ( different types of asset classes, strategies, stances) and start to come up with your own method for looking at deals (which matches your unique, personal  risk tolerance, financial situation and financial goals).Thanks Ian.

There are some other dynamics that also will likely play a factor in making the situation great for investors...such as runup in home prices and interest rates probably created a permanent renter class of society. 

But the classes are at your own pace and some states don't require a liscence. 

I use QBO and love having the class feature, which is a bit more per month, but you have to have it to separate out transactions for properties for Tax time anyways.

My initial protege added an ADU in Escondido which is working class like El Cajon.  

What Class is the area and the property?

Here's some other copy & paste advice you might find useful:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
