Anacostia, while considerably better than it use to be is no where near class B.

This is making it incredibly challenging to compete with.As you poke into Brewery town, point breeze and going further into those neighborhoods you will start to see the class of RE change quite drastically. 

Those areas have higher rents, lower vacancy and higher appreciation.If you manage class A or B assets it’s not awful as most tenants are not professional tenants trying to live rent free for years.

@Nicholas Foy average sales price in The Eye was $87,944 in 2023.We consider it a Class C- Nieghborhood.So, tenants will probably have FICO scores under 580.Means you may want to use a Vacancy/Tenant nonPerformance factor of 20%+ in your metricsYou'll also need a real good team on the ground to minimize losses.

Normally you need to find a bread and butter B class neighborhood to make money in real estate.

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.38.36% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 5-year class life.

Nathan,Thanks for the response and support.Of all the categories of businesses, REIs with due diligence and real estate agents with ethics classes are the least likely to pull this stuff.My nephew in 19-County says, "Hay" I mean "Hey"We publish a weekly blog on the company BP site, Utah Real Estate Accountants.Janet

C class investing, B class light value add, BRRR, etc... once you do that they will put the properties in front of you that fit your strategy. 

Quote from @Gia Pirelli: I also took her class.

@Craig Bowman Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
