It just means a higher quality A tenant that is making less income will most likely be occupying your B class rental.Diversification is the key to any successful investment portfolio that I’ve ever seen.Even the most "sophisticated" financial professionals gravitate toward an allocation of 10%-30% in real estate investment properties.I don't have a crystal ball, predicting future real estate prices regardless of what coast you live in seems to be more of a roll of the dice.
