Those turnovers, more than normal maintenance requests, and the cost of the occassional eviction eat into the actual real life cash flow you will realize with a property like this and long term will not match the paper numbers that look good and enticing as you evaluate the deal now.Even if you can buy in a lower end B or solid C neighbrohood, it is drastically different than a D property in my experience.

consult with the city first, then find the opportunity zones, then find the deals that would match your plan, then find the money. consult with officials and other investors that have done these types of investments, learn, step, learn, step
