Get a B class property with a normal tenant.

Hey Brandon - are you thinking of more rent ready or fixer upper?

Some can execute on the lower tier assets and transition out but it is a far more difficult asset class to operate and exit than most realize and many fail.

For example, a post may say:We have a deal in dallas texas, a complex apartment - 400 units Class A. huge cash flow.In the above example, we are not claiming we are the owner of the prop, we are not claiming to have a equitable interest in the deal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

Upper levels with slanted roof lines cut into living space which is very outdated and much of it becomes deadspace. 

The property is in a B-class neighborhood, and while I’m comfortable managing coliving setups, I’m curious about any potential nuances around refinancing and insurance for this type of property.Are there specific loan types or lending policies I should know when refinancing a rent-by-the-room property?

I have never invested in syndication.I understand diversification in different asset class (precious metals, real estate stocks etc).

And the finishes will probably need to be leaning on the upper end in some places.
