@Ann Bellamy, @Max K.Max,Ann B. is a trusted colleague and Black Diamond puts on a great program.

I know I want to invest in out of state SFH 3bed/2ba in B Class neighborhoods for cashflow somewhere in the mid-west.I've looked at cities population growth, job growth, median house values, crime rates, if its landlord friendly, vacancy rates, ect.

I had a home last year that I paid an Appraiser $450 (b/c I had to) who who took two weeks to provide THE EXACT number that was in Zillow.

Each Strategy is a BUSINESS Strategy.In the case of my Benevolent strategy of helping needy tenants, I am using the "Customer first" Business Strategy.This may work for me as my properties are in NYC in Class B or better neighborhoods.But it may not be YOUR strategy because your Customers maybe different than mine, and in fact, they are.I do question the strategy of working a job as a Landlord and not enjoying it.

I know they've already reached out to family and they have now confirmed they will help if needed, so it feels comforting there is a plan b, but I was willing to step in if that wasn't the case.

I have heard people say A and B class apartments is where it’s at because their jobs are safe and they can work from home.

Greetings Folks, are there people out there that have found B & C properties on the MLS (Abilene, Dallas, Weatherford, Fort Worth area) ?

If you can get this property to perform at a 6 cap and you are in a B-A hood, then probably good, if you are in a C-D, then I think you are asking for a lot more headache than it's worth.

It's totally possible that they either  (a) buyers/seller are appropriately scared and prices reflect the actual risk or (b) sellers of hotel real estate aren't particularly spooked by coronavirus and, combined with low interest rates + institutional "dry powder."
