We have an opportunity to buy a small office building in an upper class town and neighborhood in Connecticut. 

I've heard a few of the older guys who manage in more C class areas do that.

My friends were paying $900 for a room in a B- class apartment a mile from campus.

I have prior experience working for a real estate title company in South Florida, a degree in legal studies and had advice from my professor during a real estate law class when I bought my first auction through Broward county (realforeclose). 

And the market will force them to do just that (remember, places WANTED to cut their profit margin in 2020 to court more business, but they COULDN'T, now they can), in fact it's already started, hence that class action law suit against Rocket Mortgage... when they went public in August 2020, they told their investors that the 2020 profit margin was normal and projected to continue.

Not surprisingly, this led me to class C properties. -- For this buy, I wanted 90%+ occupancy rates.

So, why not purchase something in the middle of that range you mentioned, in a working-class, up-&-coming neighborhood?

I'm looking at a property that is listed as a 2 flat; however when I went on the chicago zoning website, the zoning class is B3-1 which does not make sense since there is no retail currently.
