@John Salcedo you may already know some of this, but a reminder doesn't hurt:)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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

@Minji KimRecommend 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 is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.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?

We were one of three in class of ~30 individuals (small or large, you judge) by the end of the 12 week program.

It is hard to sell a property when you have such a good rate and it is possible that it could cash flow done correctly.You sound like you might be interested in commercial mixed use, it's one of my favorite asset classes out there because it's diversified in and of itself.

I am interested in getting my real estate license and will be getting it in February since that is the next available class.

We bought 2 HEPA class air filters for the home this year just in case.  

Maybe, maybe notYou have to weight the pros / cons along with the risks.Your BP mentions you are 'new to real estate'.You are getting into a new asset class along with a business(I consider a STR more of a business than an investment).How much will you save in taxes?

I don't run charity, I don't run educational non-profit classes.

It just seems like a 5 unit and a 4 unit are arguably in different asset classes because of the difference in buyer pools.
