What class property are you looking to invest in?

After awhile I felt like I was being brained washed by these promoters of classes on"GETTING RICH IN REAL ESTATE"!

On the the other hand, these properties are D class. 2/1 brick duplexes  with gas wall heaters and window units.

Even though it a D class property, It’s cash flowing nicely at this time.

We have one middle class rental in Shallowater.

These are older 80's builds but in a Class B working class area that is booming.

As far as buying 30-80k houses cash, I would recommend leveraging your money to buy cash flowing B class properties in the area that have a good chance at appreciation. 

The other soft spot of the market are class A condos in downtown Denver.

The 2% rule may work on paper and spreadsheets, HOWEVER, if you are in a c class or lower area surrounded by even lower-end properties, that 'extra' cash flow can evaporate with lower quality tenants, more repairs, higher turnover, slow or no-pay occupants, etc.The trick is to get a deal where you have a good neighborhood, good schools, pay a reasonable price, and make sure you can 'value-add' to boost your returns.

A restaurant that can only serve at partial occupancy will have a different NOI, likewise for other asset classes affected.
