@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I would still set aside money for renovations that are need based if you do that and use the rest to invest.

While I could write a whole dissertation as to way, I have no appetite to enter into a kind of discussion in which too often egos become prevalent over helping one another.What I would do if I was in your position is to ask about investing in the US to somebody who actively invests there and ask about investing overseas to somebody who actively invests in Europe and the Caribbean and then draw your own conclusions.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I have been reading and listening to real estate investing books everyday for a while now and it is something i want to pursue. 

@Tannia CastroWelcome to the exciting world of rental property investing, Tannia!

Can you help me evaluate an investment case?

If the property can service the debt at 90% leverage between a senior 1st and the seller second, you're looking at a good investment!

Both have great groups of folks who invest locally.  

Socal is tough to find investment properties that work.I have a great realtor in Sacramento that can find properties that cash flow.
