If something is bringing in your desired ROI, grab it.

Hi JJ.....I regularly poke around the Redfin website out of curiosity more than a desire to buy anything and I've noticed that the properties in Crete and Steger appear to be very reasonably priced for a pretty solid working class suburb.

I really like Roanoke from a desirability standpoint personally, and have spent some considerable time there and nearby.

@Kortlin M Wheatfall If you are local and only have a few units, and you have the time/desire to handle the details, then no. 

I worry that you may be mixing your want and desire to help folks with being a landlord.

Class C properties are typically more than 20 years old and located in less than desirable locations.

Especially during a strong market when you can move the less desirable, it is good to get rid of those and get something you like.

It is with great excitement and the desire for a greater future that I have joined Bigger Pockets.
