Not sure what type of phone you have, but on a Galaxy to inbox someone- click on their name which is typically in blue, then click on "Connect".

It's a blue collar inner ring suburb of Cleveland, Ohio and I would consider most of Euclid to be a "B" caliber neighborhood.

I aim for small, 1-2 bed units that rent for around 500 a month in either college towns or blue collar, C-class neighborhoods Characteristics and Benefits: 1.Low minimum entry cost2.Virtually no cap on potential gains3.Do not sell old portfolio, but buy additional, similar units4.Appreciation of property value is not guaranteed or expected5.Repairs will slow the timeline, but are necessary6.With minor upgrades, rents could be increased to expedite timetable at a minor cost7.When possible, upgrade to larger, taller buildings with units on multiple floors.

This is a very blue collar area of town.

Easy for me to do since I'm blonde hair blue eyed anyways.

I mean, if I set aside 3% per month for those big expenses that only occur once in a blue moon, do I include subtract that 5% as part of my expenses to determine NOI or no?

Pulling up to the property I saw the blue tarp on the roof from a distance.

Hey Rich I'm a Real Estate Agent in Eastern Kansas City, I do most of my sales in the suburban areas of the city like Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Independence etc..

If it is a typical low income blue color area where most people are living paycheck to paycheck then expect anyone who rents in that area will be living paycheck to paycheck.
