There are still markets in the United States that allow either the beginner investor, or the seasoned expert to invest at low price points in B class neighborhoods.As real estate prices have generally recovered since the financial crisis, there are still pockets that remain, where if you know what you are doing you can purchase a home for between $60,000 - $100,000 in a solid B class area with infrastructure supporting a tenant and home owner demand (Just ask all of the Midwest folks)These homes range from 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom all the way up to 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom and even duplexes.Price sensitivity is important for many reasons.
