As a CFA you probably know the old quote from Warren Buffett who said something like "buy what you know and understand". 

@David YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My next goal is to implement the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method, specifically in Birmingham, AL, and focus on Section 8 properties.With relatively good rehabs, I’m not looking to be a "slumlord"—I want to provide quality housing for tenants while also ensuring my investment is successful.I’ve heard mixed reviews about Section 8 tenants, but I’m eager to learn more.
