Now we're seeing investors pouring money into buying Class C rentals - but, many are getting burned.In our experience & opinion, the main determinant of property Class is not location or even property condition, those are #2 and #3.

If I have a garden unit in a Zone X (non-flood zone) that experiences some hydrostatic pressure seepage on those huge rain events, does this qualify as flooding?

And if they did, what's an hourly rate worth depending on their experience? 

But, you already know that having property management experience.

I would like to get your recent experiences with rent to retirement - positives and negatives. 

With your equity and experience, you could find solid 10-40 unit buildings that align with your goals.

Any insights/people with experience in this market who can chime in?

The best way to get experience is to do the thing.

Quote from @Shaun Ortiz: Hi Jason,Thanks for sharing your journey—it sounds like you’ve gained some invaluable insights from your experiences, even with the squirrel tenants (that’s definitely a story!).

I prefer markets that experience mild winters to eliminate the added costs brutal winters can bring.
