Investors typically grade areas based on a lettering system A-C/D.

There are C/D class areas, like around Independence that may cash flow well, but I would never buy property there out of personal preferences.

I think it's probably best to put the $ I have currently sitting in HYSA into a CD or something of the sorts for the next year+ instead of trying to rush into buying a property and then moving - hard because it feels like there is never the right time to get into REI and I just need to jump! 

Now we need to factor in the other players, defenders, 3rd parties (coaches, refs, fans, etc).

Dollar General and Dollar Tree have been building ~1,000 stores each in the U.S. each year for over a decade, and I've read people on the forums who have pursued strategies for building and leasing specifically to these players at a high volume.How is this rate of new builds sustainable, and how can we determine the point of saturation, when the pipeline ends?

The types of projects, the project costs, timelines.Personally, I think the end result for us all is to have an ever growing and expanding REI company that remains a player in the game for decades to come. 

The guys buying all these super cash flow properties that are C/D class who call investing in an appreciting market gambling, simply do not understand the concept of risk analysis and how to properly assess risk and deploy capital based on risk.

@Ringo Yip there are opportunities in the Bessemer area but you have to be selective if you are purchasing in the C/D class arena.

What areas within Dallas would you consider to have c+ properties in B class areas?  I realize its a bit subjective, but just wanted to see some feedback from experienced land lords
