What are the best Class C/B- neighborhoods to BRRRR. 

If others are investing in the neighborhoods you've honed in on, talk to them.When I first started, having an idea of where I may invest, and questions about certain topics are areas is a much better convo to have with an experienced investor than to just go up with the general "I'm new and looking to get started but don't know how." 

We are going out in the next couple of months to get a feel for the different neighborhoods...

The best "FREE" foreclosure list is the newspaper's public notice section.

I've already got one callback from someone in the neighborhood looking to sell their house. 

We are having a trend in Chicago north side of the farther out neighborhoods 2-4 units exploding.

Focus on things that ARE knowable like, do the numbers work, am I being realistic with the rental income forecast post renovation, am I budgeting for the 2nd "R" to go over budget, and is this a desirable property in a decent neighborhood.  

I am interested in C grade neighborhoods (SFR or multifamily). 

Neighborhoods weave in and out of each other and so one street might be great to live on whereas another street might not be so great to live in.

I'm having trouble calculating ARV because this is NJ and it's not a model development, meaning this home's structure is different than most in the neighborhood.
