Those are 3 qualities I favor, but chief among them is #3 :) 

Most of my clients buy strong suburban with better cap rates and low prices while still getting investment grade tenants.There can be some valuable land plays in both strong suburban and urban core areas.Ability to rebuild will depend on quality of the insurance company and policy and what they try to exclude.

The low Price and good quality home.

Do you use a benchmark market, or benchmark criteria to gauge the quality of markets?

Any suggestions of quality lenders with good rates and reasonable fees?

Depending on what price point/quality of the quadplex, you might be buying deferred maintenance.   

Good quality laminate w/a bullnose (one-piece) edge might hold up better.

Or perhaps you have a great rolodex of either high net worth individuals that want to invest or high quality contractors that work for fair prices?

I buy Class B properties in Atlanta MSA, and prefer this class over Class C for several reasons:- class B assets usually have less deferred maintenance - class B assets tend to attract higher quality tenants- During COVID, Class B collections were the highest in the U.S, following by Class A assets, then Class C (which usually attracts tenants from the service industry and low paying jobs that got hit the hardest)

It's really easy to get 'comfortable' with your service providers because it's simply a pain to pivot to a new one, but as soon as your reviews start dropping because of the quality they are providing you want to be able to quickly and efficiently move to an another crew if necessary.
