Can anyone give me tips to avoid physical altercations at my units geared towards low-income tenants? 

Your credit will take a massive hit which may not be worth the interest savings of 18months compared with potentially worse terms on a new mortgage down the road (some lenders give rate discounts tiered with credit scores).I did exactly what you are proposing and have been wondering if I should just pay it all back. 

I've always wondered if agents are trained to make real estate seem more complicated than it is to help justify their commission and help them feel more important.

On the other hand, I wonder if due to all the media surrounding  A class buildings, whether if C class is the place to be if everyone is moving down to chase apparent, potentially  higher returns...So that maybe there is more competition for C class buildings than there may be for A class buildings.I am sure there are good sponsors for all class of properties in any part of the RE cycle. 

@Eric Patrick OdenThanks for the tip, though appreciation is just the icing on the cake, right?

@Dmitriy Fomichenko thank you for all of the great starting tips.

Earlier in this stream of comments it was mentioned that Fort Lauderdale is not a good location to invest I'm wondering why he would say that is it due to the price is being too high?

I wondered that too, but I’m not sure.

Its been hard for them to give me estimates without knowing for sure what the layout will be, but architect plans run 3 to 10k from what I've found. any tips?

@Alejandra RocaHey, kinda late to the thread on here.. but wondering if you used portfolio loans to start or stayed with conventional?
