Said another way, since the main way you get high Rent to Price ratios is by having low purchase prices, the data doesn’t back up the claims of buying for the 2% Rule or those cash cows in C-D class neighborhoods.

I think the stock market is good if you know how to play it same as real estate but different asset classes.

I got this question through a DM, but after I went off on my tangent, I felt like others could hopefully benefit from the info too.Are asset classes graded somewhere or just people's estimates?

I attend digital marketing classes Monday- Friday from 9am to 5pm.

I am an out of state investor that focuses on C class properties and most of my tenants are plumbers, restaurant workers, hair stylist, and other blue collar workers.

It's a B class area with mostly older homes so most competition have hardwoods).3) Lay LVP through the whole unit and cover existing hardwoods (may be more expensive but definitely more durable over the long-run).Either way, the hideous parquet has to go! 

Stock market does not affect this asset class as much as the single family or retail... actually, it makes every potential investor lose a little bit of faith in conventional wisdom and want to put their money in real estate.

In prosperous times, everyone pays their rent, but in any shift, it tends to be lower income tenants that are disproportionately hard hit, which will effect the landlords of those asset classes more.

I have partners across multiple entities with different classes of assets, scattered amongst a number of markets.

Rents have started to plateau and in some property types and classes you can see incremental increases.
