ie. in Houston it seems 80% of class C was built about 1965. 

If you have 10 class B SFH's and they are heavily financed, real good insurance and 1 LLC might make the best sense. 

On the other hand, they aren't a protected class so feel free to deny.

I have a tenant in a C class home that used to have a nice over-sized 2-stall heated garage.

Pick a solid B-Class suburban area.

This reminds me of the scientist explaining to his class that the sun will explode in 5.5 Billion years.

I have been reading  and listening to some more podcasts and the theme of the current environment seems to be: 1) tightest market in decades, 2) extremely low likelihood of finding good deal on MLS and 3) must find off-market deals.My question to the community, especially any sellers, what is the benefit of selling off-market?

Purchase a duplex in San Diego and live in one unit - PROS: essentially get help paying my mortgage via rental income, proximity to rental property, maximizing FHA loan on a more expensive property (maximizing my down payment in a low interest rt environment) CONS: The market is so unbelievably expensive and rents are not comparatively high enough to really make most moves profitable, high Debt to Income ratio thereby limiting my ability to purchase again2.

@Oleksey Goncharov - I feel like all properties are different and it really depends on where the property is, what the tenant class is, how old the building is etc.I don't think a PM should ever be making more than the owner.....unless it's just a very poorly managed building that has a ton of repairs.Probably the best person I know to help evaluate your numbers is @Mark Ainley

Some high income earners don't really want a bunch of extra cash today especially if the environment is not tax friendly.
