Basically i'm trying to determine if purchasing property B and renting out property A will be a good opportunity to acquire another property in an appreciating market while still be able to cash flow. 

Its just too many fakes for me to spend the time weeding through them.. in REAL estate sales your always weeding through people.. but in finance in my VERY narrow niche just don't have time for wanna be or like I said all talk no cattle.

This is a rip off the band aid type of situation.

Choosing between two Phoenix and Las Vegas is still a lot of research, as both are different markets with pros and cons.Here's a list of top 100 cities forecast by realtor.com for 2018. if you can narrow to one city then it's a start.

They probably wouldn't come to that conclusion if there wasn't a deal that they were analyzing but the emotion of the deal gets the better of them, they rationalize that it's "borderline" and so it's a "B-" and they can raise rents, but it's really not, doesn't appraise post-rehab, can't find tenants at their desired rent, etc. 

Class B and C are somewhat better, but it is tough to cash flow if you use traditional bank financing unless you but a big down payment.

My partner and I have been researching several new home communities in the Sacramento region for the past couple of months and finally narrowed our search down to (1) The Good Project in West Sacramento, CA and (2) The Mill at Broadway in Sacramento, CA.

Pen Fed vs US Bank HELOCShopping for HELOC’s I feel I have narrowed my focus from many, to a couple of options.

Pen Fed vs US Bank HELOCShopping for HELOC’s I feel I have narrowed my focus from many, to a couple of options.With so many variables, I would love some feedback from people who have a HELOC.Pen Fed currently offer a HELOC at: 4.5%There is also an interesting 5 year offer with a rate of 3.75%, 15 year term (2% due of balance each month).US Bank offer a higher rate approx. 5.80% (as of today), no fees if you are a platinum member (must have at least 25k balance to qualify)They also offered a 5 year fixed rate of 5.19%.I would be using this HELOC to BRRRR property.

The first thing I would say based on your posts is to narrow down your goals.
