I have two one beds in Class A Bk neighborhoods, and they have not been easy to rent out lately, yes the market is rapidly improving, but it could still take some time to get the units filled, so I would be hesitant to pursue a deal where the margins are so tight. 

So with lower class rentals you should expect a better cash flow, but higher risk on someone not paying/destroying the property.

Assuming that somehow you can qualify for a high LTV (Loan To Value) loan (meaning small percentage down) you can purchase a place not far from San Diego State (El Cajon and Spring Valley are working class areas that are fairly safe and about 15 minutes from SDSU) and house hack with some roommates. 

You also are able to secure really advantageous debt on a A class assets which is another angle a lot of investors take when buying in these neighborhoods.

I looked into the New Wealth Advisors Club, they charge $2400 for the year and included is a class that teaches you their way to flip.

We’ve been developing at both ends of the spectrum (high paid tech and middle class manufacturing/service industry).

The cost for signing up for classes is about $300.00, and I've heard from other sources that the exam itself costs around $125, with a few administrative fees once you pass. 

Also, a side note, the education their child has received has been sub-par due to at home and hybrid classes.

I am currently taking property management classes at the same time looking to get into a landlord training class either way i'm jumping into my first multifamily with in the next 25-30 (when my cash out refi closes) In the meantime I have been learning as much as i can in the landlord/property management areas while still searching and analyzing deals.I am investing in Massachusetts  and not apposed to investing out of state.

If their buyers agent has done only a few deals it's really no different than working with someone unrepresented anyway because at least in PA the licensing classes teach you nothing about actual real estate practice.
