Its a beautiful duplex in a B neighborhood, a little drive north of Tampa, FL market.

My goal is to buy what flippers say "does not have enough meat on the bone", a B- condition on the surface property but with good internals, in an A neighboorhood, then fix it up over time so that it's better than average. 

My strategy is have a ~ top 10% suited sfh in a A/B neighbourhood, keep rent at the top of the market, and add on $100 monthly for a dog and $65 for a cat..

Note; Under any/all move out option(s) A, B and or C, resident will be held financially responsible for all cleaning and damages in accordance with the lease and is required to pay all rent, utilities and other obligations even if moved out before a new resident is found or end date of lease.

Check out @James Wise   He has some great info on a, b, c, d and f neighborhoods in Cleveland....

If it’s a B or A class neighborhood and your at -100 cash flow after conservatively estimating expenses...your really investing for the long term.

If I have to borrow money to get a cash flow property and spend a few years paying that person back maybe I should invest in a B class property instead or even just a plot of land. 

At the top (where we are today) I'd rather acquire a B+/A- asset with an 7-8% yield and a long (15 (agency) to 35 (HUD) year) fixed rate debt instrument.

If you want a B Class building at a 7 cap, not going to happen down here barring something special. 

Definitely not a B neighborhood.
