Heeeey BiggerPockets FamilyI am a verrrrrry new multi unit investor (experience in single family home investing and renting out to the Section 8 population) with the goal to buy/hold properties for cashflow.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

If you're opposed to it, I highly recommend you reach out to the committee and voice your concerns. 

Highly recommend Los Angeles County over City of Los Angeles. 

To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

Container homes would be low investment with high return and a passive income.

I know personally quite few Sec.8 Tenants who drive nice cars (Lexus, Jeep Wrangler), take vacations, enjoy shopping in high end malls......they work for cash and have free health care, food stamps and Sec.8 Housing.These are not legal reasons but that's not what I believe I should do.

Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.As for picking a specific market - I would go after one with an increasing job and population growth.

My favorite sponsor is vertically integrated and local their portfolio.I also agree that historic levels (40-year highs) of inflation, interest rate increases, and government intervention is/are clear black swan events.
