@Brian Nance some of C class neighborhoods are transforming to a B class.Its easier to “predict” the direction that a neighborhood is going towards than predicting what will happen with a whole market.I’d suggest feeling the vibe of the neighborhood, you can tell that by seeing that a lot of houses are getting renovated, greener grass, cleaner area, cops are present and it just feels safe.Neighborhoods that their tenants are the owners will be taken care of better too.I would not wait because houses in good areas increase fast, so it is a gamble that eventually you will end up paying more for the same house.Good luck!
