@Wes Brand, thank you.

I meant that I'm brand new : )  could you elaborate in beginner terms if you have time?

Rod invests in apartments and I want to ask the right questions so that I can get some insight for my own endeavors and hopefully share some valuable feedback/ideas for his brand.

Hi all,  I am brand new to REI and looking for my first rental property and could use some advice from those of you who have a lot of experience under your belt.    

Hello All. My name is Daray. I am a 25 year old Big 4 Accountant out of Houston currently closing on my first deal. I am new to the Real Estate game but I've decided not to wait years or even months to take action.I k...

Hi all,I'm brand new to this field.

I only mentioned that it was a B property because I wanted to clarify it was not a complete disaster area / and not a brand new top of the line home)A ) -Newer construction or recently remodeled- Top amenities- High-income / status tenants- low vacancy rates- more luxury life style- very little or no deferred maintenance issuesB) - Older properties / Not recently remodeled-  Few or no added amenities- middle class tenants- decent condition  (nothing to write home about tho)- Value add investment opportunity- some deferred maintenance issues, but generally well maintainedC) - Older properties or desperately in need of remodeling -  needs infostructure improvements- lower income tenants- less desirable location Once again this is just my take on it, everyone has different opinion, and im sure mine will change over time.
